top rad hose TD wanted 95 638 396

[themildbunch]

Anyone have a new / almost new hose from the early style alloy thermostat housing to the top of the radiator for a turbo diesel?
Citroen part no. 95 638 396 (no longer available, apparently)

The combination of corroded thermostat housing and old hoses that had been happily clamped to another engine for years has meant lots of weeping connections!

thanks malcolm...

problem solved now, I found a new one I'd been hoarding in a box under some more BX bits in the greenhouse!
fitted and thermostat hose ends lightly sanded, a thin wipe of RTV and decent jubilee clips and no more leaks so far....

It looks like Gates still do this hose too, even though Citroen don't:
