I've just got a Nissens radiator, now fitted, but the bottom hose hasn't pushed in with a satisfying click. It's the push in with the wire clip. I feel a bit uneasy as to whether it's gone in properly although it must be said I can't seem to pull it out easily. I would feel better if it went CLICK when it went in.

I'm thinking a new bottom hose would be a safe option. After a bit of searching I've come up with Part No: 1351Z3. Can anyone confirm this as there seem to be two options of hose?

They don't click, they push in until the metal lip or flange touches the end of the elbow on the radiator and it's then held in place by a stainless steel round wire C-clip inserted into the groove in the radiator outlet.

Z3 is the later cheaper hose, will fit the earlier car with the same rad connection fine, have one on my ZX, as Davey said it doesn't Click into place.

The flange is touching the radiator outlet but it took a lot of effort to get it there. I just don't feel that the clip is holding it properly. The end of the hose wasn't in the best of condition.

I grease the O-ring before fitting with silicone grease or something similar to make it go in a bit easier.

This.

You get such a better feel for it going all the way home when doing this. Yes
I also find that if you grease it in the first place you seldom need a new seal if you ever take it apart and wish to reassemble. Wink

Thanks for the help. It's going to be a new bottom hose I think. It's that badly corroded at the end I might as well get a new one. It seems I've replaced just about everything else, I don't want to spoil the ship for £25 of tar as they say.

To top it all I've just got soaked disconnecting the bottom hose.

That's all part of the fun. To be fair once the zinc passivate finish is scratched or damaged on those metal hose ends they corrode away very fast unless your antifreeze is topped right up. New hoses are expensive but kind of worth it for reliability.

Yes, it's amazing how easy they slide in when there's no corrosion present. Yes

Clearly this Peugeot game will be a lot easier if I check the flange to make sure the o-ring is well-greased so it will slide in easily all the way to the end. Now I know what I've been doing wrong!

It's all the rusty deposits on your O-ring causing the trouble Mik, I reccommend wet wipes!
