Silicon hoses

**wrinx** · 11-02-09, 12:21

Would anyone be interested in replacement silicone hoses for the hose of death (back of the engine) and the one which attaches to it, from the coolant tank?

I kept the two pipes which came off my car to do this one day, so subject to price and me getting my arse in gear and sorting it...how many would be interested?

I've already replaced the 'T style' hose {in the back of the engine long time ago - almost a year ago} and yesterday bought the silicon tube to replace the one from the expansion tank keeping the metal corners. Need to see how the expansion tank thing will go and I'll let you know if I'm in for the tube that goes from the tank to the 'T style' hose.

Mine is replaced already but you may get a bit of interest from others if its the same on 'grales.

**Ditlev** · 11-02-09, 17:06

Already replaced it too, got a t-piece from a Punto, and the rest is just ordinary hoses..
Would be interested in a complete Silicon Hose kit though..

What do you call complete?

All water, air and oil pipes? Won't be cheap...

To cut costs i would join any silicone hose action.
Count me in if this goes along.

Hello,

if you go for a set of silicone hoses for air (1 from tb-intercooler, 1 from intercooler - metal hose, 1 from metal hose to intake manifold) I will go for this set as well. Mostly interrested in Black color.
Regarding the water T-hose behind the engine, I replaced this one with a hose for a Delta, buyed from Bielstein, this one fits perfect and was a silicone one, too.
Therefor I think the most needed hoses are the air hoses (behind the Turbo) to get positive effects in performance.

So if any one is able to bring a set of this one the way, count me in for one of this.

Regards Michael

Interesting, I thought they were different...have you got a link?

I would say either one, but not necessarily a package with all three.

Would be interested in these too..

As for color, although I would like blueish or red, it doesnt really matter..

I think both Tanc Barret and Walkers do these for the integrale.

No harm in trying to improve matters for everyone. The T piece may be available off the shelf at Samco or any of the other silicone hose manufacturers, check their catalogues against some measurements.

Hello Evodelta,

There it is...72039, can you remember how much it was?

**Michael_kal** · 13-02-09, 07:19

sorry not at the moment,

it was expensive, but good quality, I will have a look next week when I'm back home from business travel.

But the original from the Q4 is not available any more from dealer. And additional this work needs to be done only one time with this hose, and its quite a mess to change.

Regards Michael

**Evodelta** · 14-02-09, 08:43

Thanks for this information Michael, it makes us sure that the hose on the Delta is the same as the Q4, which is good for these guys.

I have searched a lot for the oil vapour separator (4) hoses but still haven't found any of them. Have you? It seems that there are not available anymore as OEM...

I was thinking that maybe it would be easier/prefered for Samco to produce and deliver silicone hoses for 155 Q4 if they would have at hand the whole OEM hoses kit.

Then we could have the possibility to buy the whole kit (good price for group buy) or even individual hoses. Maybe I'm too optimistic but I think it is worth a try.

Also I'm aware that it might not be cheep.

What do you guys think about us trying to make a 155 Q4 hose kit collect and send it to Samco? Of course after we contact them to see if they are interested.

My first step here it would be to donate some of the hoses (oil, water, turbo). Just want to know your opinions on this matter of if you have any other suggestions. Thanks a lot.

Greatings,
Cristian.

i have the two hoses from the oil seperator on hand, they are dead, but good for measuring.

i replaced them with some random rubber hoses that came in an s bend.

I would like some silicon as long as i don't have to give my right hand for them though

**Xti** · 28-06-09, 13:46

@ecl
It's a good start.
Which two of the OVS hoses from the picture above do you have at hand, please ? Thanks.

**ecl** · 28-06-09, 23:41

8 and 5

**Xti** · 29-06-09, 13:47

Great! Thanks, ecl.

I can donate the oil vapour separator hoses #7 and #9 so we already have at hand all 4 OVS hoses.

Does any of Berlina Sportivo forum colleagues already have bought from Samco so that could have some experience in this matter?
If not, I will try to make and keep contact with them just that my english is not very good and we don't have a serious Samco dealer here...

PS: Please add in this thread any suggestions regarding the parts that should compose the Alfa 155 Q4 hoses kit !!!
I will do my best to find and donate as much of these hoses as I can.

Thanks in advance, to all.

**Xti** · 12-07-09, 12:16

The Samco dealer we have here suggested that I should choose directly from Samco catalogue some hoses to fit in my car...

In other words they were affraid of possible mistakes. Too bad.

Anyway, I'll try to find some other way if there is one and I will keep any hose I could donate for this purpose.

**biggie_** · 26-11-09, 07:16

Any news on this issue? someone has been lucky?

I have to replace some small bore hoses, can you tell me the measurement of the one that i show on the picture bellow? (it's placed behind the intake box)

Many thanks

**Xti** · 26-11-09, 07:39

No news yet so far, unfortunately. Anyway I'll keep all the old stuff just in case.

I'm not sure exactly which hose is about but I'll try to figure it out searching for them. I'm still way too far from this chapter of my project, most of the parts are put in some met pots...
