Radiator hoses
 

Having trouble with finding a suitable route for the lower radiator-engine hose on my 1.8 CVH engine. Does anyone have any pics??

I haven,t got any photos of the lower hose route but I can take some tomorrow morning if that helps ?

I forgot to ask....which Rad are you using?

cheers

Hi, I'm using a Clio rad, and already routed the hose up over the chassis rails but I think it's too high as water doesn't circulate.
If you could take a pic that would be great :)

I,m using a Polo rad, so not sure what the inlet/outlet positions are on a clio rad, but I,ll take some pics in the morning & post up on here.

May i ask, what have you done with the heater hose connections? have you looped them in the return flow direction? just trying to work out why yours isn,t circulating etc.

cheers

Hi Andy, Ive looped the heater hose from the auto choke to the tee with the bottom hose connection on the L/H side of the engine, if that makes sense. The water flows through this pipe fine, but not through the rad :confused:

Yep, makes sense as thats how I did mine too :)

hmmm , no idea why its not flowing thru the rad either :confused:

I,ll post the pics tomorrow, see if that helps in some little way.

Andy, I've got a polo rad, but it's totally bare, any chance you could get a few pics of yours, uncluding the thermostat housing

sure no prob :)

ps... what do you mean "its totally bare" ?

cheers

No thermostat or thermostat housing, just want to see what parts I need to order up. Sorry, should have been clearer

Sean..... you have a PM
