I have just measured some pipes which are similar, to the one in the thread these locking pipe and connectors are used on a lot of cars if not all cars and 9.9% of the time are the same size.
Just over 9mm 1 1 So there is a chance that an 8mm to 10mm ID clear hose will fit the 12mm you have purchased maybe to large. 3 The clear tube as clearly been stretched over the pipe already, note the diameter. 4 These are the fitting below that have been measured. 5 6 Hopefully it will help albeit a bit to late

Dougie. Footnote to moderators: Could Artic's reply above be added to beinet1's excellent How-To? It's valuable additional information for anyone wanting to carry out the ATF purge.

Finally set about doing the job today seeing as it's been unseasonably warm & sunny again. It went perfectly! My only slight concern had been getting the oil cooler pipe off the stud but after some careful examination whilst resting my head on a brick, I figured it out and it popped off with no argument.
Wifey duly assisted with starting the car while I monitored the flow from the stud via the clear plastic pipe into a 5L petrol can. It's a good steady flow rate - nothing ridiculous and really easy to watch the level rising in the can. It took around 25 seconds to pump 4 litres which is where I screamed STOP and was told there was no need to shout. Just making sure.... The old oil was well stinky and black. I changed 7.75 litres in the end including a small overfill which was drained via the level plug. Took the car for a 10-mile run and as with most other people, it's soo much better. So thanks again for this great How-To, Einar. It's still paying dividends after 9+ years. Dougie. NB: My oil cooler is the newer type i.e. water-cooled with the two stubs at opposite ends, both facing upwards unlike Einar's photos above. Not a problem in itself, but the stub on mine was 12.5mm OD as Simon measured in post #87 above. So the pipe I used was 15mm OD and 12mm ID. Maybe the older stubs which Artic measured above were smaller, I don't know. So my 15/12mm pipe fitted snugly (although I used a temporary hose clip just in case....).
