4-Piece Silicone Coolant Hose Kit Citroën Saxo VTS 16V 120hp 1996-2001 REDOX

High-Performance Silicone Hoses for Citroën Saxo VTS 16V

This 4-piece REDOX silicone hose kit completely replaces the original cooling circuit of your Citroën Saxo VTS 16V 120hp manufactured between 1996 and September 2001. Specifically designed for the 1.6i 16V engine with 1587 cc displacement producing 120 horsepower, these hoses ensure optimal thermal management under all operating conditions.

Verified Technical Specifications

Each hose is manufactured from high-quality VMQ silicone with a reinforced 3-ply structure at 4mm wall thickness. This multi-layer design guarantees exceptional resistance to extreme temperatures from -50°C to +180°C, far superior to original rubber hoses which rapidly degrade under engine heat and thermal variations.

The complete kit includes the 4 essential cooling circuit hoses: 2 radiator hoses and 2 heater hoses. All hose clamps required for installation are supplied. Replacement is carried out exactly in the original location without any modification.

Compatible Applications

This kit is strictly compatible with the Citroën Saxo VTS 16V equipped with the 120 horsepower engine, model years 1996 to September 2001 (Phase I and early Phase II pre-facelift). These hoses are particularly popular in the following disciplines:

• Motorsport and competition
• Rally and rallycross
• Track and trackdays
• Drift and autocross
• Performance engine tuning
• Sports vehicle restoration

The Saxo VTS 16V, with its 1.6 16-valve 120 hp engine, its lightweight of 935 kg and its performance figures (0-62 mph in 8.7 seconds, top speed 127 mph), remains a benchmark among French sport compacts. Replacing the original hoses with this silicone kit provides a reliable and durable improvement for engine thermal performance.

Advantages of Silicone vs Original Rubber

The rubber hoses fitted as standard on the Saxo VTS show several weaknesses: they expand under pressure, crack over time, become porous and eventually burst or rupture. VMQ silicone offers incomparable mechanical and thermal resistance, eliminating these recurring problems.

The REDOX lifetime warranty demonstrates confidence in the exceptional durability of these silicone hoses. This warranty covers the entire kit against any manufacturing defect or premature failure.

Permanent Stock and Fast Delivery

Unlike original Citroën hoses often out of stock at dealerships, REDOX maintains permanent stock of this kit. Orders placed before 5pm are dispatched the same day from our French warehouse. GLS delivery occurs within 24 to 48 hours across Europe.

This immediate availability is valuable for mechanics professionals, racing teams and enthusiasts who cannot afford to have their vehicle immobilised waiting for unavailable parts.

Available Colours

The kit is offered in three colour choices: red, blue or black. Red and blue bring a visible sporty touch under the bonnet, while black offers a discreet and professional finish. All colours benefit from the same silicone quality and technical properties.
