You need 251 121 442A.  The other part numbers they gave you are for 2wd
Vanagons of various years and differences in Transmission (auto or manual).
I think I have one of these in stock if you need me to ship it over night.

Thanks,

Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED --- ETAK P/N Help Request

Folks,

Sorry to say "Sprudel" had a minor mishap.

Broke down on the side of the road ..... coolant pouring out of the right
front side of the engine.

Towed it to a VW Garage ..... they say its they it's the coolant
Connector/Junction and think based on the Local VW dealer, think the is  P/N
251.121.438A.

But the dealer is less than certain. Hate to wait 1-2 days and then receive
the wrong part.

They are out of stock (what's new) so the part is being shipped overnight
express from LA to San Jose.

Volks Cafe Web Site shows three possible P/N's for this part on this Van.

251.121.438
251.121.438A
251.121.438B

Would someone please check ETAK to verify the P/N for me.

Or better yet ... if you know from expereince.

Vehicle: 1990 Westy Syncro .... standard rear heater , no aux heater.

They say this make a difference.

Very Appreciated,

Stuck in San Jose, CA,
