   Just removed the standard bottom hose to replace with a samco one but upon removal noticed they are totally different hoses as you can see
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   These are from samco direct . Surely this isnt the right part?
   
   Any thoughts? Anyone had this problem?

   have you trial fitted it on the car? as it might just run tighter to the block.

   have a go at fitting, looks slightly different but may still fit.
   Worth a shot.

    Looks like they have sent you either a saxo hose or a pre-facelift version.
    
    An earlier type housing should do the trick, just make sure you wont have troubles with the secondary "bike valve" hose using the same inlet/outlet position.

    Part number for the housing according to citroen service is 1201 59 that is using a mk1 vts vin number.
    
    Worthwhile checking with citroen when you get it to make sure though.

    It wont fit, the mk1 and mk2 coolant hose routing is different for that pipe, as i remember it the samco hose you have there is the mk1 variety and the black hose is from a mk2 engine (could be the other way round though).
    
    Was a pain in the ass when i had to have the hose replaced & turned up with a 2nd hand replacement from the wrong model. Citroen took £90 from me for a new standard replacement hose too!
