Our 91 Carat's oil cooler hose (the one toward the rear of the
        engine) has apparently been weeping through a pinhole for some
        time, explaining the slow loss of coolant (DuH!). Today the
        leak is no longer a tiny spritz but a steady leak.

        Any advice on the gymnastics required to replace this hose which
        seems to be no longer than about 4 inches long? To reach it I
        know I'll have to remove the oil filter, but what else should
        I be aware of before attempting a field repair? Assuming, of
        course, that I can find a suitable replacement, shortly, from one
        of the local VW dealers' parts departments...

        Anyone know if a FLAPS hose fits this particular requirement?
