Paul Allen 0 Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hi peopleComing back from work tonite pulled up onto the drive , i noticed steam from the bonnet. Opened the bonnet and there is no water in the tank x) . I have let it cool down and have found the problem the large hose (i think its called the cross over pipe could be wrong) has a pin sized hole in the end under the coilpack. I have attached a picture, does any body know where i can get this hose from as i imagine VW to be really expensive or should i bite the bullet and get some Samco's?.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 These babies cost £70 new from VW. If you dont want to buy new, you can always look about for 2nd hand ones, as people are always buying samco's there are generally spare ones of these knocking around for reasonably cheap prices.

Do you know any where that sells these dirt cheap? Link to post Share on other sites
