rs2 coolant hoses

[pasbogdan]

Need help with the hose from coolant reservoir.On the s2 3b it goes to the bottom of the radiator in the back.In etka the same for the rs2 adu.The hose on the car and the new samco hose has a T piece at one end.It can go to the rear of the thermostat between the block exit plug and the metal cooling pipe thet feeds heater matrix and after run pump.But that will leave radiator bottom plug open....

Thx!!!

I will ask this way:On rs2,what hose do you have connected to the rear bottom plug of the coolant radiator?

[pasbogdan]

Anyone willing to have a look under the bonnet?

Thx,

Depending on the year of your car, on a 1995 it's from reservoir to metal coolant pipe on the engine block.
On a 1994 it's like a 3b.

If a 1995 what connects to the lower rear port of the radiator?
Thx!!

RS2's have a blanking hose/plug that goes on the rear port on the bottom of the rad.

And i kept the car not started after engine/hoses change only because i taught it was not professional to plug the reservoir hose like on older models,or get the t hose on the block behind the thermostat and plug/block the lower radiator port like a cheap job garrage

Seems Ingolstadt was in a hurry with theese cars.
Like they also have been i a hurry when they got another water pump on adu engines,timing marks were not allign anymore(the camshaft one) and decided it is ok to set the camshaft 1/2 tooth to the left of the original marking on the camshaft cap

I mean,powered by Porsche....but with Audi engines moded fast in a night and 3 hours in the morning,to be Porsche "powered"

But why i can not find the car's original radiator lower port blocking plug?

I know what you mean, the timing mark's are rubbish, there's a bung on the bottom of the rad, the mapping could be improved upon and the least said about the grill clips the better.

Still they are fantastic to drive.
