Morning,
Driving home last night, all of a sudden see a steam coming from the rear and temperature starting to rise!
Lifted the clam to find that the water hose that connects to the T-Piece off the water tank and runs to the turbo towards the front of the car was bubbling water through the silver coating, my only guess is the hose is perished, is there any way of buying a length of hose from somewhere or is it a specific type from the factory?? or could I replace rhem all with nice silicone hoses??
Anyhelp would be much appreciated.
Regards
David

Off the shelf from Pirtek, look in your local Yellow pages. Its not the best hose in the world but it's what Noble used. I thought the silver covered hose is the Oil feed hose.Driving home last night, all of a sudden see a steam coming from the rear and temperature starting to rise!

The Hose i've been told this morning is the water hose that cool's the Turbos, and is basically covered to protect it from the heat, it connects back to the main water tank where you fill up the coolant, I've checked in the manual and the two hoses from the T-Piece connect back to the turbo's from the main water tank, with another little hose connecting back to the water pump too.
The quality of some of the small bore (3/8 inch bore) hose is REALLY poor . Mine blew the hose that runs from that T piece that forward to the radiator , then blew the replacement in a day ! I think the problem is that although it is rated to ten times the pressure needed , it is only rated to 100 deg C and it blisters and de laminates . I have got some proper quality rubber hose fro Goodridge (who do Aeroquip) and I think that should sort it !
Yeah thats the one!!, I think they have maybe just covered it as you say to make it look nicer!
I've found a site http://www.venairsport.co.uk/ who do silicone coolant hose, will that be of better quality and will it withstand the pressure and temps??

This is getting a habit! www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=43...
On a similar note.
I noticed my water a bit low so I filled it back to max. Just been out for a blast (car display temp acting normal. I have a 2.5 so the ECU doesn't hold it at 90 it will move when in traffic and drop back when on the move), got back had a check and the water was right up and the exit point on the hose above the one described above was bubbling (the water wasn't boiling). I then undid the cap slowly to relive the pressure and it let me completly remove the cap?
Any ideas if I have an issue.
Cheers

yep this was my experience, i decided to change the whole lot, everything that was 3/8 (10mm) and am really pleased that i did as when i was removing the old rubber pipes i found most of them were on the way out or had also perished.i bout from here http://www.venairsport.co.uk/index.php?cPath=45 as they do 4m lengths which meant i could do the hose that runs under the tunnel to the radiator in one length without joins.
i bought 2x 4 meter lengths and 1x 1 meter of 10mm silicon hose in blue (as you do). as it turned out i didnt need the 1 meter length.
i would strongly suggest you also replace the whole set as you might end up having another one let go in the near future. better to have the confidence that the problem is well and truely sorted and not coming back imho

While I am at it I am going to do the other hoses(that are not unique to the car) also going to use Mikalor supra clamps. Does he have a website?

2 four meter lengths would also do it if they have four meter lengths in stock.
if you bought from the link i posted a bit earlier i think they were 50 quid a length so 100 all in.
with the supplier i use out of this length of hose i told another friend about venair .he has rang them this morning and bought 1x 4mtr 1x2mtr 2x1mtr in the 10mm tubing delivered for 86 pounds cheers seanif you bought from the link i posted a bit earlier i think they were 50 quid a length so 100 all in.
shoule be fine, save the 4m length for the run throught the tunnel.
remove each hose seperately, starting with the one through the tunnel and cut the new hose to the same length, fit the new hose and move on to the next in sequence.
took me about 2 hours, the biggestest problem was pulling the old hoses off as they were pretty much stuck on, i slit them in the end with a knife where they go over the mating union.
i also did my vacuum hoses whlst i was at it, might do the 90 degree boost pipes in the future so it all looks the same
