I've seen that Courtenay sell these on their site, but they are their own brand, and seeing that i've got samco's for everything else, seems logical to keep the same all the way throghout.

so, does anyone know if you can buy these hoses but the samco ones?

The ones im on about are selected in red..

i've seen these advertised on their website:

TCS337 Astra VXR 2.0i 240PS 5 Induction
TCS337/B Astra VXR 2.0i 240PS 3 Turbo
TCS337/C Astra VXR 2.0i 240PS 5 Coolant
TCS337/C-A Astra VXR 2.0i 240PS 8 Ancillary

but are any of them the ones i'm after? theres no pics unfortunately :(

Well it cant be coolant and i shouldnt think it is ancillary but it could be the other two.
I suggest e mailing them. Its a bit crap not having pictures on there!

Dont think Samco make Courtenays but who knows.
Got my hoses from regal becasue Courtenay said there would be 4 weeks wait but regal dont do the breather hose so i will have to get that from Courtenay, but it says courtenay on it which i dont want becasue all the others say samco on them.

i think sticking the sensor mount pipe down side is a far neater way 2 do it, plus the sensor loom is so stretched using the astra h style from courtenays.
so frightened gona break its under so much strain
