 This spring I got stuck in Greece for 2 weeks with my 2012 3.0 240 HDI on a trip from Frankfurt to Athens because this cooling hose went bad. I was stuck there because this cooling hose is no longer available for the C6 and a friend sent me a used one from Germany. Since then I can not find a new one anywhere.
Does anybody has an idea where I can get one? Maybe there is a manufacturers who can build them?

I love this car (Beside my CX and SM) but it is a shame that you can not properly maintain the car just because a cooling hose or other part are not available.
This car is my daily driver for the last 10 years, drove it for 120.000 Kilometers and it was the most reliable of all the Citroens I had in the last 40 years and perfect for traveling, but if I can't get parts I have to get rid of it.

Sorry for the rant from a German with bad english but I am quite upset with Citroen at the most moment. Anybody know where I can get the cooling hose 1343LR? I am grateful for every tip.
Thanks
Ralph

PS going with a C6 to a Citroen Dealer in Greece was quit funny. It appears the C6 and the V6 engine where never sold in Greece and they where quite clueless????

 Hoses can be made if you have a one to copy. I know the Triumph Dolomite Club in England had the coolant hoses re made here so surely there must be a company in Germany can make them for you. In the UK Romo Hoses can make classic hoses - Click Here -

There are makers of Silicone hoses as well for motorsport etc aka Rose Motorsport - Click Here -

You could also contact Rob at Chevronics in the UK - Click Here - as they are starting to get C6 parts re manufactured

 The C6 is in the age that old new stock is running out and no-one has started remanufacturing those parts yet. I believe that the model is iconic enough that ramping up remanufacturing parts by 3'rd parties will be a thing.
