Hello

I wondered if a new formed hose is still available for our classic Pug. I would rather find the right profile than bend a straight hose around onto the pump. Another old one will likely be as hard and leaky as I have presently. Would this be a common hose for all 306s ?

Suction goes from the tank to the pump and has marking VRT 6/32/94 15X22

If there is such thing as new old stock of hoses like this .. otherwise, tell me I'm dreaming :-)

Harry

Probably a good idea to ask the question on one of the specialist Peugeot forums .

You might find something on E-bay, but sounds unlikely. As a member, I would suggest you look at the Club Peugeot UK website - perhaps join up - and ask the chairman to search for the part. If there is one, he should find it, he spent much of his working life in a Pug parts section.

You can find specific part numbers here:

Might help in sourcing a "new" part

Thanks very much Gibbo_Wirral. I lost my link to this site. I will see if a PSA number is available. All the best Harry

Pirtek is one of a number of companies that would be able to make a new replacement hose for you if you struggle to find one.

Thanks Oli Rag

I had assumed Pirteck could only supply straight hose that wont bend around very well where it fits.

Do they have some magic to form hoses (without costing arms and legs) ?

I will contact them anyway. I am not having much success finding a 1994-era spare.

Pirtek is one of a number of companies that would be able to make a new replacement hose for you if you struggle to find one.

At a serious cost, suggest look locally too, any place that supplies hydraulic hoses and fittings will be able to supply a suitable hose, hopefully utilising the existing end fittings if they are unique.

Think you’ll find this is a low pressure gravity feed hose to the pump. So it’s shaped rubber with some hose clips.

Have a look on this site.

siliconehoseuk.co.uk/collections/silicone

You should be able to find something on there that can be trimmed to fit, but put some decent branded hose clips on it.
