G60 replacement coolant hoses

[ausgolfer 0]

Hello All,

 

I have a 91 G60 RHD, am wanting to replace the coolant hoses.

Looking at the samco website they only do kits for LHD G60 corrados.

 

Is there any difference between a LHD and RHD in terms of the hoses, can I use the LHD kit?

Cheers.

i would imagine the 2 kits are different

 

you could try roose motorsport - there are a few of us here who run their cooling pipes

 

personally, i chose them over samco due to the reports i had read of samco pipes splitting

 

in restrospect if i was to do it again i would however not buy their jubilee clip set & would use the original VW constant tension springs

thanks gold, I'll check out roose. The standard clips are a PITA, was going to replace them with high quality regular hose clamps.

from the looks of their site they don't do hoses for a G60 corrado.

or any G60.

all good, back to the drawing board :D

 

Does anyone else know of a supplier or what the difference is between RHD/LHD hoses?

And the Samco ones are available on Demon Tweaks so should be UK ones but worth checking with them

Thanks for that Chuggs, but they're all LHD specific :( no luck for the RHD G60.

There's never been a RHD G60 specific set that I know of unfortunately.

 

EDIT: I wonder if after all these years it would be worth approaching somebody like Venair or similar about production?

Isn't the layout of a Golf G60 engine the same as the Corrado G60 engine?

 

As I thought it was the same, so there can't be any differences in the LHD hoses I would have thought.

 

I'm probably missing something obvious here.

[Chuggs1 10]

I can't imagine there being a difference in engine layout but worth checking with the suppliers.... As they are UK suppliers wouldn't they be mainly supplying right hand drive... Worth a check

[Chuggs1 10]

Are the venair ones left hand drive only can't see it says that?

Hi, did you have any luck finding out if the LHD ones will fit a RHD Corrado G60?

 

my names Gary by the way, I'm normally a browser not a participant on this site but thought Its about time I came out of the shadows :)

 

cheers
