That's what I was thinking.. It looks to short for a vtr and I ain't a clue what a furio hose looks like.
Anyone confirm this? Or know measurements or the Vts hose?

Looks like it fits the bigger rads so either vts or a later vtr with the bigger rad

Cheers mate, yer there a nightmare to change on the 16v lumps, had to remove the inlet today just to be able to get the old one off, to find the new one (pictured) does not fit, it's about 8 inch to short!, so I'm Thinking it could be off a mk1 Vts :(
Does anyone know if they are different?
I've got a silicone set but it's in 2 pieces the lower hose, but I need a connector to join them, but I can find one anywhere!
It's always the little jobs that turn out to be a headache!

The car is currently not transportable lol and jacking it wasnt a option. But it would of been a hell of a lot easier though.

I thought it was Untill I remove mine of a standard 03 Vts, to find this is shorter than the standard!
I've got a silicone set now however it's in 2 pieces, what can I use to join them?, any ideas?
