Hi guys,

I have a 2.0 TDI CR 140 black edition and was wondering what hoses I can upgrade or replace for both perfomace and / or aesthetics. Did a small search and couldn't find what I was looking for.

My last car was a Seat Leon Cupra R running 280bhp and 313ftlb this was the engine bay:

As you can see some of the TIP (turbo intake pipe) and the Boost Hoses are upgraded to Forge ones, but the smaller ones were done using the right sized silicone hoses (coolant, washer jets etc..)

My question is does anyone know the sizes (diameter) and best hoses to replace to make the engine bay look a bit nicer? Its standard at the moment but wont be for long, so ideas and advice please - engine cover, surrounds, piping, hoses etc..

Second to that - post a pic of your engine bay :) Diesel or Petrol
