Aftermarket radiator hoses for WG 2.7 CRD

[gibrate1]

I recently replaced both my upper and lower radiator hoses with Mackay hoses suitable for 416 Sprinter.

Thanks for the info. I know sparesbox also has a wide array of parts for WG.

How was it? Would like to know your feedback about it

Hello, I'm the thread starter for the 'Replacement Mackay hoses for WG 2.7 CRD'. The upper radiator hose doesn't fit perfectly and bends slightly when set in place. As the Mopar upper hose is relatively inexpensive you might as well source this hose from an online Mopar parts warehouse (such as Moparpartsoverstock). However, the Mackay lower radiator hose fits almost identical to the Mopar one.

* I only went aftermarket as the WG Grand was not as popular as the WK2 are today in Aus and parts for them are usually expensive when sourced via Australian Jeep dealers. (I was charged $350 AUD for one rear bearing-seal kit!!)

Only the lower Mackay hose is suitable for the WG CRD. The top hose I ended up replacing with a genuine late last year.
