    where can i buy Samco Water hoses? Really need help!

    Hey there folks,
    I'm in dire need of a Samco water kit, i've got a split in the main radiator pipe that leads from the rad into the block and after-run ( i think its the after run) Any hoo, the car is off road and its my daily driver, i know i can go to the dealer and replace the part, but for the price I've been quote i feel I'm better off replacing all the hoses!

    any idea where i can pick up the set, i've tried contacting Paul through here (S2 central)but haven't had any luck so i figure i need to find another way... any mail order/web shops i can use?

    desperate for these as i dont wanna/ cant be stuck with out a car over xmas!

    cheers

    I'd look at getting the roose motorsports ones. The make them in a couple of days and are top quality. You can also buy them in plain black without any logo's if you want the OEM look.

    Link to Roose S2 page

    Might be worth doing the Audi S2 ABY Ancillary hose kit as well if your hoses are starting to fail

      Cheers for this! This maybe my best option... Are you running them by any chance? If you are you haven't got a pic or two of your engine bay? Was looking at the coolant pipes and the larger one doesn't look large enough!
      Thanks

          I've got all the Roose hoses, boost, coolant & ancillary. It took about a week as I ordered a bike set too, but the quality and fit is fantastic. No fitment issues at all. I bought the stainless jubilee clip set too for them all and they are sooo much better than the OE ones, and any aftermarket ones too. Paul (at Roose) gave fantastic discount too, the price (for 4 sets + clips) worked out just a little more than that of an OE airbox-turbo pipe & an OE intercooler-turbo pipe combined, which is what I needed.

          For replacing corroding & splitting pipes these are great, as the standard ones are well past their best now.

              This sounds cracking, but my only concern Is that it doesn't contain the pipe I need! I'm looking mainly for the big one next to( dip stick) that comes out the top left of the radiator diverts into the block and also drops down into a thinner piece lower down!
