    Tam, sorry dude only found 2 16V ones in the shed. I know I have had one cos you use them when you fit a proper oil cooler and delete the Volkswagen one.

    I reckon the part number is 026 121 053 G if you engine code is EZ, RF, RH, PN or ABN.

    If your engine is different PM me again with your code and email address and I'll send you a screen shot of ETKA with the right numbers on.

    Hey Tam,

    Hope you sorted things out with the hose dude.

    I been having a rough run with my GTi too, with a dodgy clutch and loose front left strut.
    I hear your pain mate!

    Hang in there, wanna see your red lil golf on a drive sometime soon.

    I've just had a bunch of things all go wrong with mine all at once as well. One of the CV's had been knocking for ages, then the catalytic converter broke a couple of weeks ago, then a couple of days later the front engine mount bracket broke and every time I changed gears the motor was smashing down on the starter motor! Thankfully my tax return saved the day and I've had it all fixed. Runs & drives like a dream again. I was about ready to set fire to it for a while there.

    Don't be at ease... the worries are never over. When changing the split hose over I discovered a fuel leak aswell (easy fix). I'm beginning to think if i brake hard the whole car may disintegrate....

    In all honesty it has run like a dream in the last week, my only remaining worry is why my fuel consumption is so high when 90% of my driving is on the motorway. I'm averaging 8.1 l/100. years ago it'd often slip down to the 6's. Any ideas where i'm going wrong? There are no vacuum leaks that i know of....
