For Christmas my wife bought me a S3 with a 2.5 Diesel N/A fitted, non runner, from E Bay!!!!
the car is an unfinished project and there are all sorts of bits missing that I can, with a bit of searching, find and fit but the bit I'm having trouble with is the radiator top hose. the rad is original S3, the thermostat hosing is (I think) standard 2.5D N/A. I can't find a hose that will connect the two; can anyone help? do I need to make one up? where can I get hose from? should I make up metal pipe (out of 28mm copper?) that gives all the right bends and then connect at each end with hose?
I'm confident I can do the job if someone knows how, but have no access to sophisticated workshop kit, just a basic tool kit. I've never done any kind of conversion before, so if this seems like a basic and stupid question, be gentle with me!
Are there any other things I should look out for that will need special attention? All help gratefully received!
