RADIATOR QUESTION

Post by surfer »

Hi,
I am about to replace the rad on my Xantia Activa.
The top and bottom hoses appear to have a steel sleeve/fitting on the end which pushes into the radiator pipes.
These are then held in place by a large wire spring clip.
My question is are there any o rings used in this assembly? My local dealer didn't inspire any confidence when they said no, and the Haynes manual mentions nothing either.
I just want to be sure that I don't need anything other than the new radiator to get this job sorted.
Thanks,
Simon.

No, there are no 'O' rings, you just push the pipe in until the rather flimsy spring clip catches.
I didn't have much faith in the system but it does work.
You will have some fun re-fitting the hose on the offside..................
