Just been qouted £160 by a dealer to fit my new Samco hoses :(

WTF :eek:

If you can work a couple of simple hand held tools then you're qualified to do the work yourself :D

Holy Sh!t, where are you based, I'll do most of them for £50 ;)

If a numptie like me can do it, then you can....

Tools required ... 12mm (intercooler & dump valve bolts) & 8mm spanner (for extra tight jubilee clips) , flat screwdriver (loosening jubilee clips) , pliers ( springy clips on d/v hose ).
This is for a MY00 btw, but there isn't much difference....

Check inside the hoses before you put them on, the I/C 'Y' bit had some straggly bits on the joints inside on mine.


Also a good time to mount the knocklink sensor while the i/c is off if you want....

What about the coolant?

Dont i have to refill with anti freeze or flush the system out?


Can i expect any air blocks :confused:

sorry, I was referring to the intercooler set.

WRX Wannabe 11 September 2003 12:28 AM

Doh!

I forgot to mention that :rolleyes:

I have the prodrive hoses already and these are the 8 coolant piece set ;)
