3-Piece REDOX Silicone Coolant Hose Kit for CITROËN CX 25 GTi (1983-1989)

High-Performance Silicone Coolant Hoses for Citroën CX 25 GTi

This 3-piece REDOX silicone coolant hose kit has been specifically designed to replace the original rubber hoses on your Citroën CX 25 GTi. Manufactured from high-quality VMQ silicone, these hoses offer exceptional resistance and incomparable durability for your French sports sedan.

Technical Specifications of the Kit

REDOX hoses are manufactured from VMQ silicone with a reinforced 4mm wall thickness in 3-ply construction. This design ensures optimal resistance to extreme temperatures from -50°C to +180°C, as well as excellent pressure resistance in the cooling system. The kit includes all necessary hose clamps for perfect and leak-proof installation.

Applications and Citroën CX 25 GTi Compatibility

This kit is compatible with all Citroën CX 25 GTi models produced between 1983 and 1989. The CX 25 GTi equipped with its 2500 cm³ fuel-injected 4-cylinder engine developing 138 horsepower made Citroën history. This prestige sedan notably participated in prestigious rally-raids such as the 1981 Paris-Dakar and Tour du Sénégal, demonstrating the reliability of its mechanics.

Today highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of French youngtimers, the CX 25 GTi deserves careful maintenance to preserve its original performance. Replacing rubber hoses with silicone hoses constitutes a major technical upgrade.

Why Replace Original Hoses

The original natural rubber hoses on the Citroën CX 25 GTi inevitably suffer from aging effects. After several decades, rubber becomes porous, cracks and loses its elasticity. These degradations cause coolant leaks, excessive expansion under pressure and, in the worst cases, hose bursting that can lead to engine overheating.

REDOX silicone offers a permanent solution to these issues. Its molecular structure naturally resists aging, hydrocarbons, ozone and UV rays. Unlike rubber, silicone retains its flexibility and sealing properties over time, hence the lifetime warranty offered by REDOX.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between silicone and original rubber? VMQ silicone offers superior resistance to aging, extreme temperatures and chemicals. While rubber degrades in 5 to 10 years, silicone retains its mechanical properties throughout the vehicle's lifetime. That's why REDOX can guarantee its hoses for life.

Are these hoses compatible with modern coolants? Yes, REDOX silicone hoses are compatible with all types of coolants: classic glycol, organic OAT coolants and hybrid coolants. VMQ silicone perfectly resists the different chemical formulations on the market.

Can I install these hoses myself? If you have basic mechanical skills and suitable tools, installation is within your reach. You simply need to drain the system, remove the old hoses, install the new ones with the supplied clamps, then refill and bleed the system. Allow approximately 2 hours of work.

What colour should I choose for my engine? The choice is purely aesthetic. Blue and red are popular for a sporty look under the bonnet. Black offers a more discreet, original appearance. All three colours have exactly the same technical properties and the same lifetime warranty.

Do these hoses also fit CX 25 GTi Turbo versions? No, this kit is specific to the naturally aspirated CX 25 GTi with 138 hp. The Turbo and Turbo 2 versions require a different kit due to their modified cooling system. Contact us for the appropriate reference for your exact model.

What is the actual delivery time? With our permanent stock in France and same-day dispatch for all orders before 5pm, you receive your kit within 24 to 48 working days by GLS in mainland France. For deliveries to other European countries, allow 3 to 5 working days.

Is the lifetime warranty really unlimited in time? Yes, REDOX guarantees its silicone hoses for life against any manufacturing or material defect. This warranty demonstrates confidence in the exceptional quality of the selected VMQ silicone and the vulcanisation manufacturing process.

Can I use these hoses for competition use? Absolutely. REDOX hoses were initially designed for motorsport. They perfectly withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stresses from rallying, circuit racing or rally-raid, as demonstrated by CX cars in competition during the 1980s.
