My top radiator hose as just gone! On the way home, I started her up and got about 200 yards up the road and thought it was raining localy over my car! Until I pulled up and got clouds of steam! The top hose as got a pin ***** hole in it and spraying water up out of the bonnet vent!
My car is now stuck 15 mile away at the mother in laws, anyone know of any fix or were I can get one on a bank hoilday Monday local to Cheshire for a '98 turbo 2000!? I need my car for work on Tuesday! Cheers!

 

how local to cheshier?? are you by chester?

 

About 15-20 minutes from Chester!

 

ive got one i think in the garage , if bob hasnt

 

ive got a spare one aswell if your top hose is the same as a `94 v1 engine???

 

just use some electrical tape and bodge a roll around the pin ***** and that will get you home

 

Nice one! If anyone can get one too me or isn't to far from northwich Cheshire, drop me a call/text on 07921171323 and we will sort out! Cheers!

 

How about a bike puncture repair kit?! Will a patch out of that do a temp job?!
If bob or rich can help, give me a shout, and I can call do this afternoon and collect.
Cheers lads!

 

I had this happen to me a few months back. I took the hose off roadside (luckily had a few tools with me) dried he hose off best I could, and tightly wrapped electrical tape around it. Refitted hose, topped coolant up, but left the cap off the header tank (to stop it building pressure). I drove home very gently like this keeping eye on temp gauge.

 

Go to B&Q and buy some silicone tape, just the job for this and will probably last a while as well until you get another hose, its great stuff !!
£5.99

 

screwfix now sell it,they didnt use too

Ive just had the same problem with my 98 Turbo 2000 Wagon!

Phoned the AA and he came out and put some of that hose repair tape on it, but as soon as he put the cap back on, it pissed out again!

So i ended up getting a piece of copper pipe off my mate and cut out the punctured piece and put the copper sleeve in it, and it held pretty well untill i got home.

Im now after a some blue silicone hoses for the radiator if anybody either has any or knows where i can get some from?

try that mate , ive got the same ones on mine , but a full set

 

Cheers pal, but will these ones fit?

Im just asking because it says they are for 2000-2009 and mines only a 98.

Im a bit of a noob when it comes to Scoobys, so im not sure of the difference if there is any?

 

when i click it it says 94-00 ??????????????????????


you could get samco ones but they are a bit more pricy , prob need 4 new jublie clips to

 

Ehhhh???

Ive just clicked it again and its gone to a different set of hoses!

Either my brain has finally pickled or my laptop is playing tricks with my head! haha.

The link took me to this set.

might be that i edited it dead quick coz i changed it hahahahaha

just before you order them wil ask in work we have subaru aftersales and aftermarket parts , do you fancy a full set or just pair of cheaper ones , just depends what budget you have .

 

Hahahaha well at least i know my brains not pickled yet!

At the minute im just gonna go for a pair of silicone ones in blue, unless the full set dunt cost a brazillian quid. lol.

Gimme a shout and let me know how much it would be for the 2 rad hoses and the price for the full set too please mush.

 

yeah will send you a mesage tomoz evening otherwise just get those of fleebay , they work ok to be fair

 

Cheers babby.

 

dont forget to put the nw club sticker sticker on i gave you aswell lol

 

My bloody top hose developed a pin hole coming off a slip rd last night. The exhaust was v hot and created alot of steam, I assumed the worst and it had me worried. £28 for a new hose, Seems common on these cars.
