I want to remove the heater matrix on my Nova with c20xe. Before I go buying the unvirsal corregated heater hose... Is there a direct fit or close anough vauxhall hose that can be used for the coolant outlets on the head?

Many thanks,

Chris

I know I can do that... But don't really want hoses flapping around, and it's just another pointless join and length of hose.

I was going to suggest super-flex silicone hose but it looks well expensive on eBay.

clean out an oil breather pipe :thumb: there is one that fits perfectly as it has a 90 degree bend close to one end

Cheers Rich! Is that from a c20XE or just hunt around all engines?

that was a small block pipe but i should imagine it will fit. Can't guarantee it though, just worked for me on a 1300 :thumb:

Focus RS turbo breather fits perfectly.
