@NARP74 how did that NARPA hose work out? Same result as @930cabman







And yes… I know exactly what I’ve done

That's hilarious, you will suffer the wrath though... I was waiting for someone else to do it!
I have not installed the hose yet, I am looking for a suitable support hook for the middle of the long hose. The NARPA hose is a smaller ID and will be a better fit than the other options I have purchased blindly online. It is a tight fit on both the single and dual outlet connectors and should be just as good on the lower connection as well, just haven't tried it yet.
My only complaint, and this goes back to the original question is that the spiral wound hose seems to be more flexible and need more support due to material and construction. The accordion type, as some else called it, uses more substantial material, plastic or a heavy rubber even. I have a short piece of hose in a parts stash I found that is different than the one in the first pic, but would be perfect. No idea where it is from or what it is for. It almost supports itself , looks good, had no ridges at the connection ends and was made to last in a hot environment unlike the plastic original ones.

Something like this could work for the hose support. You would not need to disassemble the clamp to get the hose out if it is tight enough.

I hear horses!

@NARP74 you just need a piece of aluminum flat stock from lowes. cut it, bend it, and drill holes in each end for through bolting.

6 pages and still going. . . Over hose

914 mania has encroached upon 911 territory.

yep. i realise now i am going to have to kill myself.


if its any comfort the NARP concept is still alive and well.
filled up the 914 with gas on monday.
nice quiet day, public holiday, city deserted.
was having a real pleasant day.
minding my own business at the gas pump.
then this black macan pulls in and hes got a whole gas station to choose a pump from.
but has to pull up next to me.
gets out.
first thing out of his gob. "ah a nine one four, pity its a volkswagen".
ah. i think. the species is alive and well. c$%ts who drive porsches.
quick as a flash i came back at it.
"yeah - just like yours ....... very nice toe rag you got there mate".

end of conversation.
went off and paid my gas bill.

one thing you can be sure of.
no fool is going to be sitting around in 50 years time sweating a heater hose on a macan. or searching through VW parts catalogues to find the alternative from a toe rag.

Hope the OP got the hose, for the rest of us we have a level of entertainment

Too right! @wonkipop the Aussie spirit and humor is alive and well.

TRUE, VERY TRUE! Ask me how I know.....

Bought new hose from 914rubber, did not fasten middle on longer hose, got eat up when sucked into cooling fan.......

DUH!

GN

Uh Wonki, a Macan is NOT a Touareg! Don’t put that voodoo on me!

A Touareg can tow a 914 from Atlanta to Maryland with only one stop for diesel and BBQ; a macan, cannot.

i didn't realise you could translate auslish!!!

be careful with the toe rag diesel.
my mate just blew his up.
bad dose of diesel fuel he picked up at an obscure country gas station.
its a write off.

basically it hydrauliced the engine on injector overfueling.
V6 version. its either cracked the head or the block.
the dealer couldn't work out which.

i was with him when it happened.
have more details.

if you get bad fuel, stop immediately.
get it towed and cleaned out.

we knew we got the bad fuel and were in the process of trying to get to the dealer.
blew it up before we could get there.

really surprised me.

they are good cars.
i always enjoyed our country trips to job site inspections in it.
real shame.

(if yaa-all interested one day i'll list out all the nicknames aussies rebrand cars with,
kind of ryhming slang. eg ford falcons are known as falc-hoons, because hoons drive em. don't know who rebranded tourags, buts it a good one and its stuck and now in general use. years ago range rovers were rebranded "toorak tractors". holden commodores were commode doors. became dunny doors after a few years. holden sunbirds were sh#tbirds. etc. the list is extensive.

So after 6 pages, WHAT am I buying and WHERE am I buying it from...

Here's a pic of the Dorman 96003 hose I installed using the original clamps. It a pretty long hose, so I just cut what I needed to make it fit. I bought it at Advance Auto Parts, I think it was $18.

Well the Dorman/NAPA hose is a good alternative. It is 2.25 in, for those stateside. It is a tighter fit than the 2.5 inch some suppliers sell. NAPA will sell it by the foot so if you are only doing the short side you don't have to buy all of it. If you are doing both sides, you can buy all of it. The long side will need to be supported in the middle by a clamp or something.

Still looking for perfection, sometimes that takes a little longer.

Cheers

Dang, that silver hose looks just like clothes dryer vent hose!

It's black, that's just light reflecting off the hose. Are you trying to make this hit 7 pages?

It's definitely black, and made for vehicle application. The sun just made the hose shine that day!

Now that my heater hose got sucked in and took out the fan, I am looking at improving what was there.
In contrast to this, my car came with a splitter off of a bay window bus that never fit or worked well.
Does anybody have the 411 splitter for sale or can you give me the part number for #67 above?
Thanks,
Scott

Close to seven who sells the fan splitters

Thanks! The price isn't bad, but I don't need the hose. I am going to try some 60mm hose that is closer to the original material.

@dr914@autoatlanta.com George can I get just the splitter? I just don't need the hose sitting on a shelf unused...

I had a WTB ad up to find the hose splitter, that resulted in getting directed to a thingiverse.com 3d printing .stl file of a stockish looking single hose adapter.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2301723 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2290245

Using that as a starting point I added 2 60mm ports to it along with holes for the stock spring pins and I added clearance to the sides to look more like the original.
I also made 60mm adapters for the heat exchanger ends so I can used the aluminized stiffer hose that is available.

I'll probably add a support in the middle, but it stands up pretty well by itself.

Anyone thought about using silicone Turbo hose?
