C3 Coolant Reservoir Hose.

Ringmaster · 07-01-18, 08:19 PM

Folks...

The rubber hose leading from my coolant reservoir to the my radiator seems to be weeping where it meets the top of the radiator.

Its end looks a bit knackered so I was going to just cut a bit off and refit it.

However, I note that originally Audi didn't use a jubilee clip but a sort of metal band.(What's it called?)

Will a jubilee clip be suitable for this fix?

Yes, got one in the same place, doing the same job, on the 90q

As above, I have also done this with mine, works a treat.
