Title: best oil hose for gearbox cooler .
Post by scorpcos on Apr 7^th, 2010, 7:38pm

hi guys Ive tracked a leak on my ultima cosse to the metal oil hoses that connect to the oil cooler i want to replace the troublesome pipe with a hose any help appreciated.

i basically need to attach the new hose to the cooler and bypass all the leaky metal bits and attach the other end back on further back.

would this be suitable or too small diameter ?

I have in the past used a fuel hose similar in appearance to your first sample,you can get it from any motor factor,the pressure is low in that circuit,therefore the only consideration may be heat,though I have had no trouble.

Just be very careful when working on the pipes attached to the gearbox cooler.... they are only made of alloy and split and break quite easily. I found this out when one of mine snapped on a motorway near Paris a few years ago......
