spadam 7 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Right i have an intermitent coolant leak and saw some smoke / steam coming from the battery are today. Ive got a thermostat housing and crack pipe to replace just need to get all the rubber o rings and gaskets. I know the fans are a common problem on the mk4 and mine do spin when the aircon is on full amd they can also be heard when in traffic. They dont seem to spin when aircon is on low though?Also anyone know where i can get a set of silicone hoese from as samco dont make them for the 2.8v6 24v. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Can find coolant hose kits for the 12v mk4 vr6 american version and also found a kit for R32 which was to cheap and not enough hoses Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'd stick with oem over Samco's but use nicer clips. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Why that mark price? Mite just replace thermo housing and crack pipe and stick with the standard hoses. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 There's nothing wrong with oem but people don't replace until they fail and that gives them a bad rep. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Very true. Will just call tps and see if i can get some gaskets and o rings for the crack pipe and thermostat housing should sort the problem. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Im sure SFS do a hose set for 24v Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 They do one for r32 will it be the same as the 2.8? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I would of thought so but don't quote me on it tho.Send em an email Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ive just sent an email to js performance as it seems a lot of the r32 owners club use them amd there cheap. think the main thing is replacing the crack pipe and thermo housing. Not to sure on fans though and if there working properly Link to post Share on other sites
