Does anyone know if these are the correct atf cooler pipes to fit the 99 2.5 dse. Just bought a cooler and want to know if they are correct pipes and right price.
TIA.

According to Microcat they are correct.

Personally not a fan of ****part, sorry, Britpart, had stuff from them, such as a water pump and it failed after 2 months, luckily when the bearings went on it, the spinning fan managed to completely miss the new rad which had been installed.

Are they any worse than the oem ones as they seem to leek at all hose to pipe joints?
Where is best place to get oem?

Take your old assemblies to Pirtek (Used to have a place at the back of Digbeth) and ask them to swage new hoses on to the steel ends.

Caught you out Wills, they're engine cooler pipes not ATF.
Your micromat must be stuffed!

Read a few posts and gitpart don't have too good a rep so got them from dealer at £156 for the two but got a brand new lr cooler for £59 off flebay so not too bothered. Thanks anyway.

Blimey Ant, you must be loaded. Wouldn't have paid £150 for a couple of low pressure hoses. Pirtek would have used hydraulic greade hose and swaged both for around £50.

It's time John, which i aint got a lot of these days (not that i'm complaining) working all hours as i work for myself so it's just easier and quicker to get them from dealer and they are only a mile from me too. Thanks for the info though, i might drop the old ones in to them and get them done.

If your working for yourself, that's understandable given that you have to take work when it's going.
For info.-Pirtek also fit new aircon grade hose to your metal ends. I had the low pressure one from the compressor go last year, it had gone at the swage, they fitted a new hose to my existing pipes and charged me €45 (£30 at the time). New hose from LR over £100 and the one thats fitted is far superior hose to the standard original equipment.
