The whole time ive had my 16v the bottom hose has been a bodge, and its started to leak :(

I know the standard Nova hose wont fit due to the larger dia of the plastic hose from the engine side.

I presume its a case of running a corsa bottom hose, but just wanted to check before i find out the corsa hose isnt the right lengh etc.

Just want to check first.

Ta. +Rep for any replys.

Use the corsa bit one end and nova hose rad end with a nice piece of shiny pipe inbetween, kinda like you would for intercooler piping. Several nova's running that way with turbo conversions.

Similar to what im using, but the pipe in the middle is the wrong size lol, ive got a standard nova top hose on one end and the other end is a std nova bottom hose.
