help me with a VR6 silicone host kit please

[decksla]

hey all

after recently having the heater hose on my car pop and leave me stranded on the road, i thought it might be worthwhile to replace rubber some bits with silicone. (plus the parts car is now a permanent garden feature until i return its hose back).

been checking out ebay and theres kits from under $100 to over $500!

what should i be looking at?

is there a difference between RHD and LHD? Auto and Manual?

i was looking at something like this

CAR Radiator Silicone Hose FOR Volkswagen Golf VR6 1994 1998 94 98 Manual Black | eBay

and yes, I know ECS tuning sell them but i think $300 is a little excessive

cheers

Never thought about lhd vs Rhd.
I'm just about to order a samco set from ecs, was going forge but heard a few bad reviews on them

I think $300 is a pretty good price for the number of hoses you're getting.

I'm sure a genuine set would be well over double that. (I paid over 100 bucks for 1 hose (head to heater core, with Tpiece to throttle body) at trade price. So you can see how it was add up quickly)
