azim Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi guys - I need a new engine cooling hose (mine's a bit worse for wear)...it's the one that comes out of the top (example pictured below). I just wanted to check I have the right part number, I think it's B132S0038F https://www.deroure.com/partinfo.asp?MAK=1&MDL=20&TBL=6792&SMA=1&SMO=20&ST=hose&SC=0&PBID=397899 Thanks in advance!

agentdr8 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I believe it's A132S0081F You might also want to take a look at this thread across the pond; there's lots of alternatives to that hose mentioned that don't have the flaking issue.

azim Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 That's great - yeah that's a good call, may go for a more robust one! Thanks a lot for your help mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentdr8 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 As luck would have it, after cleaning my throttle body today I noticed that my vent hose is flaking too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) I have just replaced mine with an ali tube from Revotec.com. Decided not to paint it, so no flaking issues in future. Used 1m length of their 51mm internal diameter ducting - it is much more substantial than the cardboard / foil oem part and has plenty of flexibility. Cost £12.95 + vat + delivery.

Chris J Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Can you post a link, all I can find is the red silicone or black neoprene on their website? http://www.revotec.com/acatalog/Flexible-Ducting-and-Accessories.html Having said that the red would go nicely with the car colour...

Whitey Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hi Chris, I didn't find it on their website - I phoned them up to ask about the red silicone pipes and then the tech Guy, Dave, said they were just launching a new ali pipe, and was not on their website yet. I had sent him a photo of the old pipe in situ and he said that their new ali one would be the best option. Very happy with the result.

Brendonian Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 That looks great! I replaced mine with a new OEM replacement a couple of months ago, but that aluminium pipe seems a much better solution, and it's prettier too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentdr8 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Definitely better than the stock one, but over here, it reminds me of a clothes dryer vent hose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azim Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Nice find - when my OEM replacement starts flaking again I"ll be sure to buy that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendonian Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 A word of warning regarding the revotec aluminium hose. This is mine a year on Switched back to OEM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Alfa2Evora Posted May 23, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I was just about to order one of those! Plan B it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentdr8 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 For a more permanent fix, you guys may want to try and source a SCEET neoprene/silicone hose like these. Perfect fit if you get it in 24" length and 2" diameter, and should never crack, flake, collapse, or burst into flames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Alfa2Evora Posted July 6, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Finally got around to fitting the new hose - I went 'Code Red'. The most difficult task was removing the last little bits of the old hose material from the end cap that fits up against the grille so that I could reuse it - just how much sealant compound did they need to use to 'glue' these bits together? Mind you, with the engine cover refitted my OCD has kicked-in, , as I don't know how long I can live with the mismatched reds before I have to take action, .
