Hi everyone
Does anyone do a blue hose kit for a v6 ? This may be a stupid question but can you just buy this off a roll, cut it to length yourself and fit it or do you have to all the curves pre moulded?
How have other people done it as looking through the galleries others have this stuff fitted. I have a leak from 1 of the coolant hoses to the swirlpot so i'm going to replace the lot as part of her refurb.

ACT do some hoses as do demon tweeks, rally design and a few other places.
Google is your friend, also have a look at the useful links at the top of the forum.

Link to ACT page

The ACT ones are not cheap, but the advantage is that it is a full set for S2/S3 (although there is a spare one thats not needed). There are a couple of funny shaped pipes on the nearside of the engine that I think you would struggle to do with normal pieces.

I also replaced the 2 metal pipes from/to the radiator (also from ACT), these were a bit longer than the ones I replaced so needed to trim the silicon hoses to get a better fit.
