Forge silicone hose kit

[Kizzaaa]

Morning guys, new to the clio 182, picked one up a few days ago,

Iv got a forge silicone hose kit and was just wondering if there’s any videos out there with a guide to do all of this as I’m trying to do as much as possible myself before having to take it to a professional ect,

Thankyou for any help cheers

Just to give you a heads up, this kit doesn’t come with fixings & some of the Clio 1s don’t fit! Plus you need extra, so before you start make sure you have some decent jubilee clips or hose clamps.As for fitting it’s pretty straightforward, as your taking the old pipes off just match them up with the new one. Some of the Clio ones are 1 piece but the new kit comes in 2 pieces so you have to join them together hence needing extra clips. 👍🏻

Much appreciated for the reply and I did buy a extra bag of clips probably more than I need so should be okay on clips, is there one I should be a lot more careful with such as coolant? Cheers

Thanks all. Going to get the Hi Grips ordered.

If anyone is searching this thread in future then these are apparently the sizes you need:
4x 21-23mm
6x 25-27mm
2x 31-34mm
4x 40-43mm

From what I have read the pipes going into the bulkhead for the heater core are the worst. You should be able to push the two clips either side of the joiner and pull but a lot of people cut them. Let us know how it goes, I want to do mine.
