    Default C20xe coolant hose

    The little diameter bleed hose which goes from the brass fitting Next to the alternator on the inlet then normally tee'd into the rad to heater tank hose. Are there any other hoses that this can be plumbed into?

    That's where I've always done it, just it looks untidy with all the jubilee clips, was hoping there was another way

    Took it all away or do as i have done and have a proper hose place make you one with a tee and proper crimps
    Looks way better than with jubilee clips like iv gone npt to -an6 on the fitting on the manifold

    It might be possible to drill and tap the thermostat housing and route it round to a fitting on there but im not 100% sure . I was going to do that for the coolant pipe for my turbo though

    I'm running throttle bodies and there is no fitting on them for this pipe. But I'm having problems bleeding it so I think I'll have to fit it

    With an alloy header tank you can weld on an extra outlet for this pipe which looks a bit neater.

    I've got a set of Jenveys to go on too which also does away with this pipe. Maybe check your thermostat and ensure there's a small hole at the top to help with the bleeding.

    I ran with Jenveys that do away with the bleed off hose and just put a 3mm hole in my thermostat. No issues with bleeding
