    Samco Hoses or the like for a VR?....

    Would anyone know where i would go to get a set of Samco hoses or silmilar for a VR6? On the way to work this morning another hose split and the golf overheated....water and steam everywhere......oh and then an PHAT R32 in metallic black drove past.....as the sun hit its body work it almost looked llike a golden browny black....very very nice.....anywayz back to my problem...

    Im kinda getting tired of hoses going all the time, can anyone shed any light on where i should be looking or what i should be doing...

    I remember golf loon told me that i should change all of the hoses in one go then i know that there wont be any probs, but i kinda wanna get the uprated hoses so that i know for sure theres gonna be no leaks etc....

    i think the kit for a rhd car is different to a lhd one tho? so make sure to check that up i think.

    But yeah the kits are expensive but if u compare what VW charge per hose. Im sure it would work out cheaper in the long run. I know ive paid over $100 for a single hose from VW.

    thanks guys, i will give ebay a go...ive been looking for some on the net and the kit for the VR6 RHD is between $350 - $400 dollors, but that doesnt include shipping costs.....

    I think your right, in the long run it will probably be worth while....

    where do you guys get your hoses from? main dealer?
