Radiator hose - can we identify it please?

[steveclv]

So this is a long shot but here goes

I have a 1983 Renault Trafic that has been fitted at some point with a Renault 19 C1JH742 block but still with the Trafic ancillaries - notably the water pump.

I need to change the top radiator hose but I suspect that the radiator has been changed too as it's aluminium. Is this a standard hose or is it something I need to just try and find something similar?

I was hoping to get a replacement before disturbing the system as it may disintegrate LOL

Does anyone know the diameter of the water pump outlet? I can measure the radiator side. The hose is 40cm long

Thanks if anyone can help

I tried searching on DDG for '1983 Renault Trafic top hose' and a number of options came up. I'd suggest you do the same and then work through the options to find the one that matches yours. Good luck

DDG? Not sure where to find that
Thanks!

Its just the search engine I use to keep Google off my machine, Duck Duck Go

OK LOL
I have already tried that as well as ChatGPT - the issue is that the thermostat is contained inside the hose so it's quite a specialised end that goes onto the water pump end.
I suspect it is going to be no longer available so I might need to build something suitable
Thanks
