another newbee with a broken pug,my p plate 2.1 td i brought this about seven months ago and have covered about 5000 miles with out a single problem.the other day i checked the oil and water as i do each week and found the water a bit low so when i looked at the rad it was a bit damp so i brought one from fley bay a bargain to.when i was changing the rad i found the bottom hose was rusted tight so i broke the seal and took rad out the i saw the bottom hose was rusted as we say round the midlands knackered.when i put the new rad in the bottom hose was rotton and beyond repair,so i took it off and went down the local steelers and they said i have to wait two weeks for one to come from france.any way my pug is now in the garage waiting a new bottom hose,its one of those things never mind i will back on the road soon i will let you no how i get on .

alright mate - i had the same problem - the bottom hose was a bugger to fit - but we managed it in the end - how much was you quoted for the bottom one ?

i found this when doing the head gasket on my HDi thankfully it wasnt that rotten, so i soaked it in WD40 and its ok

i have had to pay £46.00 from the steelers i could not find a second hand one not that it would be any good.i now have had to wait two weeks for this part.when i fix it,it will be for sale i am going back to mk111 escorts they are easy to repair so any one is if interested contact me i will be sad to the pug gone but i need a car.

just a quick update i am still waiting for bottom hose from steelers they said it has gone on back order i have only been waiting 4 1/2 weeks they said it has gone on back order . i dont no what to do now i have tryed every were oh well i better keep looking i will update you later.

give a citroen dealer the part no. and see what they can do

ok cheers mate i will try them in the morning thank you
