Guest acf8181 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 hello people, bit cheaky being on here as i don't own a ford. i actually drive a vw golf vr6. now i've had a hose let go on my golf, and the rip off vw dealer wants Quote
seatkid Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Highly unlikely that the hose are remotely similar. Quote
Guest nimrod Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Not got a copy of the parts lists ;) try asking your VW dealer if the same hose is listed for the Sharan? if it is then your in luck :ph34r: just out of interest which hose has gone? also have you tried gfs Quote
Guest nimrod Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 also take a look at vw parts list in russian ! you may be able to find the hose your looking for? use babelfish.altavista.com to get an idea of what your looking for Quote

Guest acf8181 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 well, according to my parts catalogue, all the hoses on the sharan vr6 are exactly the same as the golf vr6! so that would suggest the galaxy v6 is the same right? where can i find a ford parts cd? ebay? Quote
Guest nimrod Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 I havent seen a copy of the parts cd available on Ebay only a copy of the old fiche? do the hoses look similar on the ETKA cd? if they do then it goods chance that Ford will stock it? what hose has gone? Quote
Guest acf8181 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 well, i don't 100% trust my ETKA (vw parts catalogue) it has known to be wrong. the image that comes up when you look at coolant hoses for the sharan vr6 is exactly the same as the image as for the golf vr6...the part no. for the specific hose is different mind. the hose i need, goes from the top of the radiator, to the thernostat housing, then a branch of it goes to the top of the coolant tank, and then onto the throttle body...bloody OTT!! i've just checked my local ford dealers website and they have a galaxy v6 in their used car stock, so i suppose i could go down and have a look under the bonnet to check its the same first. wonder how much ford'll charge for the hose, whats the bets that its under half the price of rip-off vw!

Guest nimrod Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 And it will be a VW part in a Ford bag :ph34r: Quote
Guest acf8181 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 yep! did they fit the same engine in any other fords? Quote
Guest nimrod Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 No unfortunately ;) as far as I'm aware the VR6 lump was only used in the Ford Galaxy and the Seat Alhambra outside of the VW range, now at least you have a cheaper supplier of engine parts! and if you need a new engine! try......... http://edition38.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=753 now if I can only persuade the Mrs that I need this to fit in my MK2 :ph34r: Quote
