Subject:heater hose help
From:Thomas Brobst

I blew a heater hose in my 84GL 1.9L waterboxer. The hose was swelled up
and real soft. I should have realized it's condition and replaced it
earlier. It's the hose that runs from nipple on the the front of the right
head to the tee below the rear seat heater core. It's complement
(feed/return?) hose runs from the adjacent tee to the steel pipe that runs
across the top of the engine from just above the right head to the left
side somewhere (I don't recall where).  Anyway, I figure I should replace
both of them but neither the Bus Depot nor the dealer show them as
available. If anyone knows where I can get them or even the factory p/n's
kindly let me know. It appears the blown hose is custom molded and not
applicable to garden variety heater hose replacement. Anyone know
otherwise? Thanks
