Hose
« on: 14 August 2026, 17:15:00 »
Hi does anyone know where I could get a coolant hose for 2 L 16v one at the back of the head goes to diverter valve part number GM 90 466 235 ? I've drawn a blank so far its got sharp bends so i dont think silicon would work got a random bit of pipe in there at the moment but its kinked so not ideal

Nothing available either from dealer, or from a breaker?

Doubt AI would help locating one - you probably need to look for an ad of somebody breaking one, and then contacting them to see if they have the part.


Good luck with making your own, interested to see how you get on :y

Had some success experimenting making up a hose used 15mm plumbing bending spring wrapped in foil as it was a bit small a mastic gun as a clamp and heating the rubber with a heat gun then cool in ice water not fitted it yet but I think its close enough  :y

My only concern is if it's brittle.it won't take much to crack, especially with the heat cycles.

Fair play for trying it though :y

Cheers everyone my homemade hose now fitted all good no kinks I also fitted new diverter valve I've had for ages while I was in there ( I thought that's what was leaking originally a few years ago but it was the hose split I cut a a bit off the hose back then)
