#1: GTI180 Coolant Leak Author: RoweY, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Thu Aug 23, 2018 6:58 pm ---- After a bit of advice, i have fitted a new bottom hose to the 180 but it's leaking from the seal! the hose comes with one rubber o ring but am i right in thinking there's another seal on the same hose before going into the radiator ?

Where are you fitting the seal?

#4: Re: GTI180 Coolant Leak Author: RoweY, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Tue Sep 04, 2018 6:32 pm ---- The radiator is the part leaking where the bottom hose goes into the radiator the plastic seems to be slightly stretched causing the o'ring to not seal correctly! Has anyone fitted an aftermarket alloy radiator to aid better cooling ? seen as though i am changing it anyway may as well have an upgraded one. Can't seem to find one though seen as though the bottom hose slides inside the pipe and is held in with a metal clip seems to make finding an aftermarket one for the 180 near impossible to source.
Would i have to fit a GTI one and just get a custom hose made ??
