Cormo Donating Members 16 Member For: 7y 3m 24d Gender: Male Posted 25/11/17 02:10 AM Share Posted 25/11/17 02:10 AM Hi, Is there anything special about the heater pipe to thermostat housing o-ring due to its exposure to temperature & coolant? If nothing special, what size? Where do people generally buy them, from Ford or aftermarket etc? What type & ID sized hose is required to replace the two short pieces (2" approx.) in the water coolant lines that run to & from he turbo. I just want to make sure I've got the right bits beforehand so I don't get stuck over the weekend. Thanks . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom picture shows a hard, old farked one compared to the good condition green one. As for the type of hose I just salvage old hose I have lying around for small bits like that but here is some hose info if you are interested. Tl;dr 2 bits of 3/8 hose @ 6 cm and 7 cm The large o-ring has a 19mm ID Nice mine there too by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears as though the hose has to be coolant hose not fuel hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel hose will work but if you're buying it then get coolant hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
