Alfa Romeo 147 GTA Episode 7 - Radiator silicon hose kit installation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- The old coolant hoses going to the radiator of the GTA were getting very old and the lower one had a big split on one end. Luckily Autolusso make an aftermarket kit for all 3 hoses and today we are fitting those hoses on to resolve this issue.
The lower hose is very complex with a T junction and lots of hose clamps which are prone to leaking. The silicon hose from the kit is a 1 piece hose for the lower.
I suggest using high quality hose clamps that are completely flat on the inside so they do not cut into the silicon hose when you tighten.

Flushed and changed to new coolant liquid today with the help of your video :-) Thank You!
Great to hear :)
Superb little mod. Thank you. :-)
Perfect video and job! Thank you bro.
You're welcome!! Cheers
While letting the engine run without cap i noticed water under my car when the cap is on the car everything is fine no leaks? Ist this normal
Is it from your aircon or is it coolant. You should never see any coolant come out of your car
@@LueysGarage the water Drops in the Part of the aircon but only when the cap is not on while im letting bleed the System, when the cap is on the Tank there is no water loss
Nice hoses, gotta fit them onto mine :) Do you plan putting CF2 on your GTA ? I've put them yesterday and man, the sound is 10 times better
Thanks, not planning on doing anything with the exhaust yet. I drive the car fairly often and don't want it to be too loud on the road. Having said that my exhaust is a bit old and slightly bent so will need to figure out what to do long term. It sounded pretty good without the rear muffler so maybe even just changing the muffler will make it sound a lot better
@@LueysGarage it won't be alot louder than stock at low rpm though :)
With CF3 the sound will change a bit when changing the muffler, but it gets whole diffrent when on CF2
Cheers, have a good monday
Didn't you changed also de the rear ones?
Not yet no, I've got the silicon hoses but haven't installed yet
What's all that saltpeter inside that aluminum engine? ... My Alfa 147 GTA inside the engine is brand new as it left the factory. :) This car was poorly maintained it drove on eneiger roads full of salt in the north without ever washing the sill.
Yeah so the car was sitting for about 2 years doing not much in a driveway. I believe all the gunk has come from the bottom radiator pipe which was quite corroded and the radiator itself. I had to swap the old radiator out for a brand new one not long after this. The coolant is very clean now after flushing a few times!
