Hi Dan,

I need a new coolant hose - it runs under the expansion tank & down into a small radiator on the front drivers side of the engine.

I have a diagram & there is a label on it saying 8C289

The car is currently in Bordeaux & the local dealer told me I'd have to buy a PCH503210 at an eye popping 373EUR even though I only need one short hose.

Please, please tell me this is available separately

Morning Alistair,

if it is this hose highlighted below, then unfortunately it is only available as part of that pipe work.
PCH503210 then cheapest i could do for would be £209inc vat

- I wish I'd measured it properly now - the car is sitting at Bordeaux airport

That's the one - Its a foot long piece of coolant hose

Oh well, I guess I can but 3 different diameters for a tenner and hope for the best

Thanks anyway
