i bought a collant hose set for my'99 and i have two left over as i don't know where they go. one is a straight piece 3.5 inches long, by1 inch wide and the other has two bends in it, both 90 degree. one bend to the left and the other to the right. it's the same width as the other but works out about 7.5 inches long? can post pics once taken photos if needed? just thought i'd try like this just now...lazy booga n all that

 

Post the pics old boy, your sign language leaves a lot to be desired...

BTW, "1 inch wide" - are you referring to the overall diameter of the tubing, or the bore?

well? how can it be a set of coolant hoses for version 3, 4, 5 and 6 if a version 5 doesn't have them??? they must go somewhere? surely someones fitted samco's to their 99 before?

 

Can't immediately think where they'd be from. Difficult to judge exactly how big they are from the pic. Only candidates I can really think of would be the oil cooler supply and return pipes. Have you checked to see if they're the right size and length for that?

It could simply be that while Samco do a single set of hoses for the Version 3/4/5/6, that a couple of hoses only fit the 3/4, and a couple only fit the 4/5.

 

it's looking like it anyway greasemonkey f3ckin waste of money. that just ain't right that ****!!!

 

I wouldn't worry about the waste of money aspect. It could well be that Samco find it cheaper to produce a single set (thus consolidating their warehousing and stock codes) than they do two, or more, different ones for the different MY cars...

In any case, don't jump too far down their throats until you've looked at the oil cooler!

 

gonna check dougsters engine tomorrow hopefully and if they are what we think they are, then i can just sell em on.


cheers dude

 

I think they might be the ones for the water pump..

Look under the righthand side of the car where the bottom hose goes from rad to coolant pump.. I think the two pipes got on the pump to block pipes etc..

Bast*rd to change and mine are still in the packet

Dave,

Is this the kit (part TCS87C)?



If so, then that's for <= MY98. I had looked at a Coolant kit for my RB5, but could never find one listed. Could be the case that it does fit later models, but you'll have some extra bits

The engine pics in that other post are all pre 99 cars as far as I can tell (sure GM will correct me).

They look to me like the belong on a post MY97, and are for the recirc dumpvalve plumbing.

lol at julian


they sell a set that fits version3,4,5 and 6 yet only a few of the set suits each one?cheapskates

Easy... they are for the ISCV on the MY97/98 cars. The 'bent' one actually comes of the valve and the straight piece is where it attaches to the inlet pipe. The MY99/00 casr do not have the same sort of idle control (they have stepper motor), as such these are redundant for you..... paper weight maybe

Can confirm Tony's statement

Got an MY99 STi Type R and found that I had those 2 pieces left over after fitting as well
