General MPV 1.9JTD Expansion box large hose needed

[RikRik]

Has anyone found a replaced for this hose? I can't find a replacement listed anywhere so, I went to my local industrial hose supplier they kindly tried to find a house to fit the expansion box, nearest was a 7/8" / 22mm ID but a bit loose. Fitting house with new heavy duty stainless steel jubilee clips but it refused to seal properly and I ended up with a dribble which I had with the old hose and factory clips, so resulted in using old hose and new clip's now no dribble but hose needs replacing! Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Google 'automotive water hose makers' there are people who will make to order.. I was watching Car SOS the other day and it seems the costmay not be ridiculous.

These Fiats just get to you. I had a Bravo which I liked more and more as I drove it. Still miss that car.
I didnt know about hose makers either till the other day. They made one while he stood there so its not difficult just specialist. I hope you can get sorted.

Found one of these silicon specialist hose makers on my doorstep in not so sunny Telford I'd actually seen it and dismissed it for the "custom freaks" which I may or may not have been in the past! I'm attempting to reading some of the lecture for these houses I think in the long term they could be real value for money plus they will make houses with different sizes ends, so for example you could have 22 mm diameter one end and saying 16 mm diameter on the other which would solve a lot of problems with these manufacturers producing hoses Pacific to that model so you are forced to pay ridiculous prices because well you're going to get it from there when now you don't have to! Going off topic slowly when I was younger maybe more stupid I was more into two wheels and break houses for motorcycles or specialist to that model ridiculously expensive is the braking systems aren't always up to the mark I found changing to stainless steel braiding houses often worked out more cheap and as they don't blow up like balloons, don't corrode you can and changing to Banjo fittings your much more likely to get undone done in the future, I would highly recommend them to be fitted to any vehicle when considering changing houses which people often overlook the same as changing brake fluid! Again if you take what's left of your original houses they will copy them depending how busy they are and while you wait I always used to use listers in the West Midlands they actually have a specialist racing division you can if you're keen make your own they have system is pretty foolproof but if you buy professionally made ones they test them with high pressure nitrogen well above operating pressures that you find on any motor vehicle. PS. I apologise if this is a bit long winding I didn't like the sound of my own voice much! I don't get out much these days, If something reads a bit on please ask and for clarification I am dyslexic and this voice recognition does sometimes read back well hilarious!! Am I posting in the right place I get a bit confused reading or it's just my normal state of mind these days! Some posts came up marked "technically" any guidance is always appreciated but not always follow. RikRik

Im glad you are sorted. I agree with your suggestion for brake hoses too. There are other wise heads on here that say the same thing. I would be interested to know what the hose costs when you get it for future reference,

Im not phased by dyslexic people I have found that they are generally well above average intelligence and for proactical reasons develop fantastic memory something I have struggled with since a childhood illness. Thanks for the update
