dinkus 10 Posted September 15, 2004 So this hose has split (notice Gaffer tape repair job) and my C is currently pissing it's coolant into the engine bay. My question to you is, what hose is this (part number) and how much of the assembly do I have to actually buy? I think it may be part 1H0 121 157 H, but I'm not 100% sure. Any other suggestions?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 15, 2004 Just ordered one of those myself from the ever helpful Mr Newbury. £25 It's the upper heater matrix to head to throttle hose. But mine is leaking at the throttle body though. That particular hose is prone to going due to excessive heat soak from the manifold and engine movement. Mine p1ssed out 3 litres of coolant by the time I reached cambridge on the way to Ragley! But it was my fault tho as I didn't do a very good job of the post-throttle body bypass repair. PM Nelson Wilbury for a part number as he's a whizz on ETKA. But I'm collecting mine tomorrow so will let you know the P/N. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted September 15, 2004 Ah nice one Kev. Scared the crap out of me when I pulled to a stop and huge cloud of steam bellowed out from under the bonnet! I'll PM Nelson now, cos I really could do with a new hose ASAP :) In the mean time, a large bottle of water will be going to work with me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 15, 2004 Quite amusing really......picture the scene.... on the way to Ragley doing 100mph toying with a Golf TDI on the A14 near Cambridge and I say to Supercharged "I can smell G12+" LOL.... how sad is that? Most people say "What's that weird smell?" but us being geeks, we knew straight away it was burnt G12+! LOL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted September 15, 2004 G11? What's that? :wink: bottom right of the photo? ;) Edit: would like to point out that he knows G11 is no longer used, but found it amusing that G11 is in big letters in the photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcstudent 0 Posted September 15, 2004 My mate totally freaks out at the first sniff of coolant - and he's always the first to smell it. Apparently the smell is all he can remember from the accident where he hit a tractor on a CBR600....in 1989. Bonkers, eh?! Just thought I'd share that. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 15, 2004 Certain smells do trigger memories...... I can still remember the smell of loose bricks from when I stacked my MK2 16V into a wall :? G12 has a very distinctive smell and when you've changed it as often as I have, your nose becomes very atuned to it! Same with blue oil smoke if you've ever had an engine burning oil!

dinkus 10 Posted September 16, 2004 Any more thoughts on this guys? I sent a PM to Nelson, but he's not picked it up yet and I do need the hose pretty urgent like... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted September 16, 2004 anyone got the correct part number for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted September 16, 2004 That's what I was hoping for... I can't really go to the stealer and point either because it's a good 15 min drive and I'd run out of coolant by then :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
