Have you got the old ones ? If so you could drop in to a local hydraulic place and they will remove the ends an make you a new set . I do this with all my hoses, if I pay cash the guy makes me them up for £10- £15 each depending on length .

Oh, lovely, sounds excellente, I'll look into that one... Brilliant, thanks Jo.

The old ones are still on the car, I've been out and had a good poke around and it might be the actual oil cooler rather than the pipes, hard to tell, but it appears to be 'showing' at the back and on the bottom of the cooler, I'll have to strip it down a bit methinks.

My cooler corroded at the lowest point at the front on the engine side. I suggest drilling a 5-10mm hole in the bracket that feeds air to the cooler to allow water at that point to drain away.

I concluded that this was from leaves etc making their way down the duct.

If you can get a look in from the front you may be able to see the damaged cooler or an accumulation of dirt.

There are also mobile companies if you're leak is bad enough

I have one ABY hose that is in good condition, the other got damaged trying to remove it from the cooler before if you are intersted. I recently fitted a 13row cooler on mine as a replacement too.

Is this to stop water leaks at the cooler?

I fitted the 13 row because the other one was rotten because of the leaf buildup

Where did you get the 13 row intercooler please Greg? + Cost etc... Sounds interesting.

Is there anyone selling oil cooler kits for the rs2. I want to upgrade but I don't have the time right bow to search for parts and manufacturing things.
