My (smaller) coolant hose has pretty much had it.
anyone know of a good replacement? or if standard silicone hose will be OK?
also am I right in thinking it's 4mm (outside diameter)?

seen some silicone and nylon 4mm hose on ebay but not sure
if the coolant will rot it.

the hose should be fine for coolant,samco make coolant hose kits for cars that are silicone.

hi.
I bought some silicone hoses for my cbr engine coolant, it should be fine with coolant, but not many silicone suppliers recommend it for use with fuels (petrol, etc).
I found silicone quite expensive for what you get and it likes to kink if you try to take it round a sharp ish corner. What i did was find an old spring and put that round the hose where the bend was, helped reduce the kink.
Hope that helps a little.

I've got some part numbers for hoses, but it looks like only the mk1 ( rk ) has a hose as small as that honda list it as 3.5 x 370 part no 19128-kae-000 . I think 3.5 is the ID which would be about right. It may save messing around just to fit genuine.

Nice one lads!


Cheers for that, I'll give a dealer a ring.
