caretaker 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 So preping the vr for a session at the ring in April, and thinking the 15 year old hoses on there are looking pretty knakcered, thinking about getting a set of Samcos. So what are peeps experiences with them, any good, or shall I try another make or even stick with OEM, also average fitting time? Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 top product mate, had no issues with mine, a couple around the coilpack can be a bit tricky to get right but are normally ok after seeing another member's experience with another brand I wouldn't buy a cheap set !!

cabrioman 6 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 yeah dont buy a copy or cheap set they wont fitt at all and be a pain in the ass .... take about an hour to fitt .... Link to post Share on other sites
H13VYY 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 what the difference between them and the OEM ones other than looks and material used? do they make the car run better in any way? Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 more for looks and strength than any thing else Link to post Share on other sites
caretaker 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 cheers for the info, definatly would only go for samco or sfs, although they aint cheap, good question do they actually make the car run any better? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Silcon will not perish like rubber does.....also they stay open and rigid whereas rubber ones can colapse and restrict flow of water/coolant Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 no just better product less likely to deteriorate and look nice Link to post Share on other sites
caretaker 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 yeah true say on teh strength issue, thats why I am looking into a set, dont want to be stuck on the side of the road in deepest europe with a busted hose..not a good look! Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 and if you get them from rally design probably cheaper than an oem set. VW charge upto £70 a hose Link to post Share on other sites
