Don't have a build thread on here, keep meaning to do one.
The hose you need is 7mm internal diameter, suitable for coolant.
I used this:

I'll update the guide when I get chance.

My GT Sport TDi doing the same thing. 140bhp BKD engine loosing water somewhere. Going to whip the undertray off if cant find nothing then ill buy a EGR delete and the relevant piping to remove the cooler.

Mine was the waterpump.

Easiest way to see if its leaking is honestly just to whip the tray off and start it up, put a breaker bar or jack handle jammed between the seat and the accelerator so it revs around 2500 and look underneath. Bottom of the radiaters a weak point, waterpump and any of the hoses to and from the EGR cooler, if no drips then its either the head or the internals of the EGR cooler have broken down and allowing water into the engine where its being burnt off, you will know if its the EGR cooler as when you start it from cold it will either stall or run like a sack of sh*t for 30 seconds while it burns the coolant off thats leaked on top of the pistons while its been sat from the previous time it was used :)

f*cked cooler -



f*cked head -
