Hi all...
I have a 1984 Vanagon. Recently I blew the hose that connects the
engine head (passenger side) to the T that splits the coolant off to
the rear heater under seat & the front radiator grill. Ok, so it blew.
i thought I can replace it. I removed the hose & took it to VW. They
looked it up & there is NO part # for this. Apparently, they also said
there were three or more variations on how they plumbed the van. So,
they could not find a part # on my hose, nor on their computer. they
were forced to send me away. I am left having to create a hose that
steps down from one size to another size. So, where does a fellow turn
to replace a hose these days? I am looking at my Bentley, pg 19.10 and
see it, but no part # there. Any ideas?
