Title: Coolant Hoses Post by: my69S1 on 21 September, 2020, 12:47:52 PM Did the coolant hoses change length from the S1 to the S2?
I ordered new top and bottom rad hoses for my S1 and both of them are longer than the ones on the car currently. The bottom one is especially longer, by about 10cm. Am I suppose to cut them to fit? I haven't heard back from the supplier but they sell the same hoses for all models of the Fulvia. I can post pictures if that helps.

If so use a very sharp blade and dont go off line
