Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses

[vgmnstr]

Anyone know what inside/outside diameters are for the upper and lower radiator hose for the ALH TDI 1.9? I am looking to add a new temp sensor and I can buy adapters to put the sensor in the radiator hoses. I just need to know what size the hoses are. Thanks.

I bought this one when I put the temperature gauge on mine, no leaks or anything what so ever....



AC Autotechnic 1 3/16 inch Diameter Water Temperature Adapter

Should be only concerned with inside diameter; which should be 1-3/16". I ordered it from - http://www.acautotechnic.com

You can also get a nice ones from -

Take a look at this thread, I've already gone through this.

BTW, if you're unsure, get a caliper type ruler at Lowe's or similar for about $10 or so. Then slightly ajar the hose attached to the upper coolant hose then measure. I believe this is one of the ways to be 99% sure of the hose's inner diameter, which is needless to say, the one you need to know.

Anybody know what size the thread is for the sensor on that adapter? I just ordered one and need know what size sensor.

Most likely, 1/8" NPT 27.
