These hoses tend to wear and split causing disasterous coolant leaks. This hose is constructed out of Silicone, making it a very strong and cost effective replacement.
Originals caps have corroded badly over time. Deep pitting leads to leaks and with 2nd hand units now becoming hard to source we decided to design and make a replacement.
Direct replacement for the original part.
Fitment 85-91 (All aluminium caps) Not suitable for the plastic style.
The front thermostat hose is a problem when replacing the standard 205 engine with a 2.0L 16v engine from the 306 GTi6. As the GTi6 has a non standard hose fitment making the conversion not only difficult but also messy if not done correctly.
This lightweight adaptor is designed to be a direct fitment to the side of the GTi6 thermostat housing. The original metal 8v connector cap can then be reused.
The adaptors have been precision machined (in house) from high quality billet aluminium. The centre hole is tapered to ensure an efficient coolant flow. A suitable O-ring is supplied to ensure the 8v cap will seal correctly.
