Racso2609 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Hose from valve housing is broke and cant find new spare part. Does anyone know where to get that hose, or its part nr? I have asked my local mechanic but he cant solve this issue either. Engine code AAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Oscar. As you have discovered, there are few parts available for a 32 year old car. I suggest you try eBay in the first instance. If that fails I believe there are companies that can fabricate new hoses at considerable expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not find anything similiar on eBay or any other sites, but i read that you could use some sort of tube that fits over the broken hole, and then with heat shrink over it to make it airtight. Do you think that would be a solution that will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that would be a solution that will work? I think it unlikely that sort of repair would withstand the temperature and pressure of the cooling system for very long. Have you considered having one made as I suggested earlier? Kev pointed out this company in the UK, but possibly there are similar companies in Denmark? https://www.apd.co.uk/car-parts/heater-hose/car/audi/100-c1-saloon-801-803-805-807-811-813-f104-1968-1976/5798_514517 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth looking. Postage from Germany would be less than from England, plus I assume Denmark is part of the EU, or at least in the Schengen zone, so import duty will not exist.
