    Makes sense now bungs in hose ends it is then. I nned that space for other things, sweden isnt that hot anyway, and i dont use mine as a daily driver. I can live without it.

          I used the 22mm stoppers as mentioned above, but if you want 'nice' ones check these out (available from the forum)

            Cheers doode. I have seen some ASH alloy ones on ebay too

            Alternatively if I wanted to get a bottom hose without the take off for auxiliary rad what pipe would I need off what model if anybody knows? That would probably look neater and if I change rad anytime soon I can try and get one without the top aux take off on.

              Most 10v cars don't have the aux rad. Roose will sell you this hose in silicon for a good price

                  404 when you say most 10v cars do you specifically 80 coupe variations or most model audis around this year?. I am trying to search for a bottom hose (silicon or std) without the aux take off on

                  Im usually a vw or old ford man so im a newish to the audi scene. Still learning.

                  Is this the badboy im after??

                    Would somebody mind posting a link of a bottom hose that fits without aux rad take off on please. Is it the one above?
