Dear All,
Today, I noticed some ominous steam emanating from the bonnet of my R reg V70 TDI. Having sorted a few things on the car this past week, it was with a heavy heart that I lifted the bonnet.
I noticed the top radiator hose to the left hand side of the radiator is perished at both ends and spraying fine jets of coolant into the engine bay. I suspect it has reached this state due to recently being removed and refitted by a garage whilst putting on a new alternator. The jubilee clips are brand new and done up approximately as tight as ££££ which only compounds the problem.
In my searching, I am yet to find a TDI specific top hose, simply turbo and non turbo ones.
Do the turbo top radiator hoses fit the TDI also?
Thanks in advance for the help. If you can provide part numbers and prices, I would be most obliged.
