GTi 6 Manifold Swap - Grant - 24-04-2013
Anyone who's done this, how did you get the coolant hose on the rear of the engine not to make contact with the manifold?
Cheers

Thats all well and good, but i don't have the lower one, that goes into the back of the block

Errr you do because they are moulded together in several positions!

I don't think so mate. The one from the base of the block to the metal pipe going up the back of the block. Not the two from the matrix. I've got them
Just the other one is scarily close to the manifold atm

you have to buy the hose specific to the 6, it is completly different, instead of being u shaped its straight and comes complete with the metal part going across the back of the engine, but then you have to change the thermostat housing as well, as the hose has an extra sprout on it which connects to the extra sprout on the thermostat

Cable-Ties FTW.
Heater hose was also wrapped in heat-protective shizzle for less bum-twitching when the temperature needle started to rise...
