gazeebo 3 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi all, Just wondering if it was a good idea or not purchasing this Silicone hose kit off of Ebay? It seems like a really good price compared to a similar kit from Samco etc. Thoughts please... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261858936816?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Link to post Share on other sites
gazeebo 3 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 'If it's a good idea'...not 'was' as that would mean I've already bought it. Missus says that I can be 'anally retentive'...can't see it myself. Link to post Share on other sites
dave_424 48 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Well it certainly LOOKS good, nice, thick hoses with different coloured layers. looks well constructed so you'll just have to rely on the shapes being correct. For around £50 I would buy one for myself of they did them for the mk4 Link to post Share on other sites
science 7 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Seems like a good price!Looks like it's the 'Winner Racing' set from China. Don't think it has the hoses from the oil cooler and I think you might need a tee piece in the top Hose. Link to post Share on other sites

gazeebo 3 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cheers guys for the replies. I might just go for it and see what they are like. I've had a look re buying them in black Oliver and found a couple of reasonably priced listings... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-SILICONE-HOSE-KIT-VW-GOLF-JETTA-MK3-A3-VR6-2-8-2-9-AAA-ABV-ENGINE-NON-US-/261232032517?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model%3AGolf|Cars+Type%3A2.8+VR6&hash=item3cd2a47b05 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-Hose-For-Volkswagen-vw-Golf-Mk3-VR6-2-8-2-9-JETTA-92-98-Vacuum-Kit-/251607973131?hash=item3a9500fd0b If I do end up buying the cheap red ones I'll try and get some pics up on here before and after fitting them.

Jimjon 28 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I bought samco hoses and they only lasted a few years, the larger diameter hoses to the rad split internally as did a couple of the smaller ends going to aux pump, I wrote to samco and included photos etc as it looked like a manufacturing fault.. But they didn't really care and just came back with me needed original sales invoice etc, which i didn't have anymore. So i replaced with Roose motorsport hoses which looked much better to me.
