I need help in determining the part numbers of the small hoses which carry coolant to and from the turbochargers on my Yanmar 4LH-DTE's. I have a parts book, so it should be easy. Trouble is that the hoses in the book do not look like the hoses on the engines.
I contacted a prominent Yanmar dealer in Ft. Lauderdale. They emailed me a page from their parts book for the 4LHA-DTE - a different engine model to mine, and (again) the hoses did not look like the hoses on the engines. They refuse to address my concerns and 1,500 miles is a long way to ship the wrong hoses.
So, I would appreciate suggestions of an knowledgeable and patient supplier who will reassure me that I am ordering the correct hoses.
Of course, if you are familiar with my engines and know the part numbers by rote, it would really make my day.
Both hoses are 5/8" ID with formed bends. The upper (pic #1) is 8" long and the lower (pics #2 and #3) is Z-shaped and around 24" long.
