Area Representative Nick Bassett Posted August 19, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted August 19, 2019 ... I think I already know the answer to this, but do I need to remove all throttle bodies etc in order to do this? I've had a look and everything is incredibly tight, but thought it worth asking the question...My other hoses are already Samco black silicon - just his main hose remains rubber - probably because it is so difficult to get to!Finally, is it possible to purchase just a single hose? All I seen so far are kits of hoses... any recommended suppliers?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 19, 2019 Member Share Posted August 19, 2019 All three of the major suppliers have several recommendations and I'd be happy to buy from any of them, but I don't know about that specific hose.NB Club discounts.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Unless you can get at it safely from underneath, you will probably have to remove the throttle bodies to get sensible access. Did this on Anthony's car a few weeks ago. You'll need to drain the coolant before removing the TBs ....and suggest you remove the small air bleed hose from the expansion bottle and lower the free end to catch another half pint from the head. You'll need a new TB gasket when refitting. If not done already, drill a 3mm hole in the top (when fitted) of the thermostat baseplate to help air pass through when refilling.
