Mondial T water leak: any alternative to OEM water hose (139468)

Superperformance in uk showing in stock @£60 . Also look for local company making them as only a curved hose, measure the inside size.

 

When I need to replace those, I take them down to a local automotive supply store and go through their hose supply (hanging on a wall) and find a hose that has a section that look like that right angle hose and cut it out. It's never more than $20US. No shipping, no import duties.

That hose where the Mondial T is really really should have been changed while the $10,000 engine out was done.

 

Hello Alec
My thought is that coolant hoses during the expensive engine service were reconnected incorrectly, that perhaps two hoses were reconnected backwards.
This happened with a major service of my Mondial t- before bought it. I was running hot on occasion. My mechanic discovered mistake and corrected their placement. My Mondial t has run cool ever since, even in the hottest summer heat.
Perhaps your least expensive measure at this point is to have an independent mechanic trace all coolant hoses for correct placement before doing any more work on your coolant system.

 

Sounds like you're cooling fans may not be coming on when you're stuck in traffic.

Hi Alec

May I ask if you went to the Ferrari dealer? If so bring it back and they should fix it for free! Either way it is their fault. Meaning not connected properly or the hose was bad and needed to be replaced like wingnut already mentioned.

350 euro is outrages. that is not the Ferrari price for a dealership for this all-round 90 degree tube

This is the real Ferrari price.. When I would order this in NL I would pay this (add VAT to it and it will be 120 euro):

alecxx - have you measured the ID of the hose and tried to match that to a Gates hose, then trim the length to suit? Below is a link to an alternative to the Ferrari upper radiator hose for a Mondial QV - I purchased one from Rock Auto for $9, trimmed the legs as needed and it works perfectly and looks stock:

I know you are not looking for an upper radiator hose but this should help you find something less expensive

 

Those are 40mm hoses (1 5/8 inch) and really any slightly right angle ones work.
