Radiator hoses
K999NNY - 9/2/08 at 04:03 PM

Looking for advice on what radiator hoses to use for a crossflow engine to a vw polo radiator. Has anyone else used this combination and if so what hoses/adaptors did you use?

Cheers in advance.

When I first built my car I went to a breakers yard and removed a load of hoses from various cars that had the bore size I needed. Labled them all up and then tried fitting to car , cutting and joining as required. If you want new then buy the ones you cut up and fitted. Alternative method is to by some silicon hoses and bends with the proper joiners
