My car has never had water running through the modine as long as i've had the car so i have no idea how it plumbs up so......

I need someone to show a pic of there's or explain the oil modine and cylinder head hoses

Cheers

Right this is as far as i've got and all was going well until .......

The ones i have used on this side from the top matrix & the small stat housing - turbo



Then the rear modine - bottom matrix



Now then which of these fit's the front modine to head? and what is the other one for?

That doesn't fit it isn't long enough unless i turn the modine towards the rear but i thought they sat with the outlets perfectly vertical

chris looking at this pic the hose you need is the 3rd one from the bottom

just had a look at mine and on your pipe, on the straight section mine has a slight bend to get round the other pipe. if you know what i mean?

that pipe doesnt look right either.
the head fitting is higher than the modine fitting
that pipe looks like it fits onto the modine then drops down?

is the other one water pump to lower radiator pipe?

From memory and the pics above, I'd say the red arrowed hose is modine to heater - it runs down the block under the inlet manifold, round the back of the head where it crosses another hose (tight against bulkhead on saph) and then loops onto the heater pipe.
I believe the other modine hose is the 3rd one up, which goes to conenction by the coolant sensor under inlet and at back of head.
Both of these hoses are a complete pain in the arse to fit in situ if you have bolted on the complete inlet/throttlebody assembly!

@nicksaph the hose you refer to has another hose branching off halfway which goes to the rail across the bottom of the Rad, iirc. This hose is missing in the pics from Thanasis above, which makes me wonder if it's the correct kit ie 4wd in the pic.

that would make sence mate i am only familier with 4x4 and mine looke like the one in the picture

I managed to get the other pipe on but it's tight, i think i will have to angle the modine a little toward the rear, only slightly though - still have no idea what the other hose is as i have the water hoses which sort the pump etc as you buy them as the water kit and not the Aux kit - strange

Chris the other hose in your pic is from the header tank to the rad pipe I think

I did think that Gav as one of the ends is slightly bigger
