I’m after a replacement radiator expansion hose, please. Has anyone got this that I could have, please? Part/s needed are indicated in red on these two photos.

Might be this part. But you would need to check year and engine size ect

Hi Dawn i have this same pipe on my Orinoco and its already been repaired.
I have a spare which has also been repaired.

Yours is the same patched up as the plastic part of the pipes are getting very brittle these days and prone to splitting so finding a good condition second hand one may not be that easy but you never know as they will be out there.

Thanks for your advice, Stephen. The hose/s on my car are ok and not leaking but my Z is in the workshop having major surgery and the guy whose business it is spotted the rubber, plastic, rubber, plastic work and wants to replace it to try to prevent my car needing more work in the not so distant future.

I’m looking on AutoDoc, too. There looks to be one at about £33 plus delivery. Delivery is a wait, though.

If not burst then the wait not too much of an issue.
A new one would certainly be the best solution to have some guarantees on longevity.

Agree with you, Stephen. It looks simple to change. Am I right?

Yes just need to be careful at radiator end that you dont snap the bit off the radiator the pipe slides onto.

+1 on using Autodoc, if you can stand the 8-10 day wait, otherwise brilliant site

Find the part number on realOEM and then put straight into Autodoc, and stick to the brands you know, Gates (best pick imo) , Mahle, Febi etc

Autodoc is also a little cheaper if you use their mobile app, I am not sure why...

This is what I have in my basket to order (eventually) for my 1998 2.8 TU
I would still check the part number on RealOEM just to be safe
This is the part number on that the linked hose is: 11531436122

Me and I am sure many others trust Gates as a very reliable and reputable brand, you could definitely get one for cheaper but I don’t need the worry of poor quality!
