I'll tell you, that diagram does not match what I see when I look down on my
85 1.9 L.  What I have is depicted on page 19.10 of the Bentley manual,
described as 1983-1985 water cooled.  This also matches Ken Wilfy's diagram
(Van-Again) at the following link

http://www.vanagain.com/19lchc.htm

which he describes as an 83-85 1.9 L waterboxer.

But if I take the part number Ken gives and look it up on Ron's site, I get
a description that reads "Feeder Hose, Engine-Rear Htr 'T', 2.1L Vanagon."

Somethin' ain't kosher.

85 Westy
(assured by many that it's a 1.9 L engine)

know what the VW part number is for the coolant hose coming off the right
side front of the engine going forward?  Most likely T's to the rear heater.
This hose is one size at the engine and another size at the other end.
