Heater matrix hoses (D24TIC)
Hi all,
The hoses to and from the heater matrix in my diesel 940 are a bit ratty and perished and I’d like to replace them as part of the complete cooling system overhaul I’m doing on the car. The only issue I have is finding any! Does anyone know if there are specific parts available or will I have to fit some standard 19mm ID reinforced hose in their place? I’ve searched everywhere I can think of online but to no avail. Many thanks Phil

I'd suggest buying some heater hose (16mm) "off the roll" on ebay, it's reinforced and won't go hard, brittle and discolour like PVC or go soggy with heat.

Forgive my ignorance please, but the two genuine hoses are preformed and each has 180deg bend at one end. Is it possible to bend straight hose to match without kinking?

Alternatively, use some 15mm domestic copper pipe with a straight Yorkshire fitting soldered onto each end to provide ridges for the hose to prevent sliding off and bend into a "U" shape, either by filling with sand or using a bending spring inside and a tubing bender. If the tubing bender has good dies that support the sides of the pipe, you won't necessarily need the bending spring or sand, either would need to be removed after.

Yes as we know the O.E hoses are pre formed.i was hoping that some of the standard hoses can be bent and not KINK but ive not bought any ive seen gates greenstrip sold buy the metre very expensive but that may be the only way to go .O.E ones no longer available for these but some hoses still are .im not keen on useing plastic or copper jointed with bits of hose but eventually we will have to sort this issue out !
