S1 4.2 Cooling System Overhaul - Update

Dodge to the rescue. Funny I was actually thinking about going to the auto parts store with the pipe and finding something that was close. Now my hands and arms are covered in bruises. Great info.

Here is what I did. I fitted the upper hose first (cut about an inch off it), then pushed the pipe into the hose (this was the worst part as there is not much wiggle room). I used water to aid with the install. I had about 0.5 in between the pipe and the radiator fitting. Put the lower hose on the pipe then wiggled it down over the radiator. These hoses were part of the hose kit I had ordered from Welsh. Need to fill it, hopefully no leaks, or at lease acceptable leaks. :slight_smile:
