First of all I must say that I truly love, and appreciate @alprada70 is making these hoses.
As I also see some members are having troubles fitting the hoses, I thought I could be of assistance perhaps as i have my original hose on my kitchen table anyway.
Could it be that the hose that you used as a reference Alvaro, wasn't an original hose to begin with? Or that perhaps more than 1 type of "original" hose exists?
The hose in my car, and the hose shown by @Dan Wood are different compared to the one identified as "Original" in your first post.
One easy identifier is the clamp in the middle: on my car and Dan's car it has 6 dimples, on your original there are no dimples.
Length and orientation of the fittings could be different as well.
I will measure my hose tomorrow exactly + measure the "clocking". That may shed some light on this.
Again, a huge thumbs up for Alvaro.
I'm just hoping to help fellow e9-ers by digging into the issue; maybe we learn that hoses were different, cars may be different, that installation requires some tricks or that some other not-yet-identified X-factor exists...
