The best place for a piece is in Las Vegas----:>)

No---just kidding----

The hose union that's up on the firewall is is available at VW----not
the cheapest piece--but you'll get it the fastest there---

 Subject: 1.9 L cooling question

A buddy of mine has an 85 westy. He had a piece of the cooling system
break, necessitating a tow home. He asked me to come over and look at
it. Anyway, the cooling system looks differently than my old 2.1 l, and
certainly different than my TIICo now.
The piece that broke is on the left front of the engine compartment. It
looks like a Siamese-union for out and back hoses. There is another
smaller jumper-hose coming into the top union, with what looks like a
small valve on it.
What is the purpose of this piece? Can it be eliminated? If it cannot be
eliminated, where is the best place to acquire this piece?
