Zetec Hose Sizes
All,
putting a Zetec in our Luego.
What size hoses do we need?
1) Top hose outlet to rad
2) Water pump to rad?
the heater take offs we are just looping round as we dont have a heater.
Thanks,
|

is that for both the thermostat outlet and the water pump outlet? The water pump outlet seems a lot bigger in diameter?

Your right, the thermo to rad is 32mm. I used a reducer samco elbow for the pump outlet, I seem to remember it was 38-32mm, but best check first.

Put the calipers round both outlets. Thermostat was just under 32mm, and pump exactly 32mm.
Is a blacktop, though - so the pump may be different (am using a silvertop thermostat housing)

Mine is an earlier engine using a 1800 Fiesta water pump, 1994.

cheers.
mine is a greytop.
what did you do about the actual pipes? they are different diameters to the rad inlets, and also a fair distance?
any places we can get the same from?

I used a mix of rubber hoses, copper pipes, copper pipe reducers and some exhaust pipe.
I had no problems finding sutible pipes and hoses.
The tricky part was the pump inlet (44mm). I have LHD and the steering column passes just outside the inlet.
