Xantia Brake Flexis for LHM

Post by XantiaExclusiveHDI »

Hi all

Well i just received some front flexis from GSF - only for them to be a trifle too short :roll:

So I was gonna take 'em back and get the longer hoses (400mm). However I have read that some hoses are not suitable for LHM - and that they should have a green and / or white banding on them which denotes suitability. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of 400mm Xantia flexis that definitely are suitable for LHM?

Thanks!

Xantia flexis should always be suitable for LHM, as they would not use anything else.

Well I can confirm for those who may be interested the Corteco flexis do have green banding along the length. They are the correct size too. That extra half inch can make all the difference :wink:

The accompanying instructions state that hoses with white or yellow banding should only be used with brake fluid and the hoses with green banding should only be used with mineral oil.

GSF are always good at sourcing the right ones, given their trade! I got my hoses from them and they too have a green band
