do ford still stock the oil return pipe/hose or similar from the t3 turbo to sump, if anyone has bought one how much did it cost (thats if they still stock it)?

 

It goes to the block, and it used to cost £40 but i would imagine the cost has gone up some, i had one off roose motorsport and that was silicon and cheaper

 

yes you can still get them from Ford and they are about£40!!! roose ones are cheaper and silicone

 

i may have a spare in the garage if your stuck

ive been told that you cant use the silicon ones as it will not last very long due to oil just eating it up, (info from torque of the devil) i have loads of samco hosing but didnt use it coz of the info given

 

approx whats the length of the hose gez?

 

Needed one for mine the other day .Still available from FORD at £41.
Got one of RS SPECIALIST off here for £25 posted.

 

roosemotorsport silcone ones are fine as the outer is silicone the inner is acutally something else which is rated to 200 degrees

 

I have a Roose oil return hose on mine, part of the outer casing has discoloured slightly from the heat but the lining on the inside is fine and intact

 

would the samco ones be the same or do they have a weaker inner core

 

i have the original one here

i list 1 every now and then on ebay and they generally make about a score posted

i only have 5 left now

 

I have a brand new one in a Ford parts bag. Unused. £25 posted for that.

 

i say stick to a genuine ford item even though theyre expensive, i had a silicone one which over quite a short time callapsed on the inside and caused restrictive flow from my turbo, safe to say car ended up feeling like i was actually driving a steam train. brand new turbo etc and a brand new genuine ford hose ( approx £40 ) and now all is well. a lesson learned though and ill be checking it periodically from now on !!!!.

i paid £37.00 last year

 

i just bought one from Roose Motorsport for £27 delivered.

i had a Roose one on before and only replaed it cause I ripped it trying to smash the starter motor with a large pole and missed!

the one that came off (apart from the massive split!) looked fine inside and outside and had been on 2yrs+
