I sell this particular pipe a lot (about one or two a month) compared to the
other coolant pipes in the Vanagon system.  I think it gets road salt on it
from the rear tire.  Anyway I have them in stock for $95.  The part number
is 025 121 081G.  Dealer list is around $96.  I could ship it to you via UPS
overnight if you needed it quick.  I have most Vanagon Coolant pipes (and
all coolant hoses) in stock and ready to ship in case of an emergency
(please take note in case you need to call me in the future).

Thanks,
Ken Wilford

Subject: coolant pipe

I've got my 2.1 apart to replace the water pump and the black coolant
pipe that runs from the pump to the thermostat housing on the drives
side looks a little corroded inside. I'm trying to find a part number
to order one up or locate one. I cant read the number on it--to much
paint on it. or seem to find one on the web through the usual parts
providers.

does anyone know the part number? its 87 gl syncro

how common is it for these to rust?

how much are they typically?

does anyone have one they want to part with?

I didnt see any leaks out of it--but its hard to see up by the water
pump. looks cooroded where the reinforcement flange is welded on.

any help is appreciated

now I just gotta decide since i have so much ripped apart if i should just
do the head gaskets to
