Dennis,

Do you happen to know if this includes the clamps which connect
above the spare tire to the plastic lines running under the van? I
believe mine are not spring clamps and I have a minor leak where the
rubber has slid on the plastic. I was planning to just push it back on and
tighten the clamp. To replace the clamp, I will loose lots of coolant.

Do you know if the part numbers for the new clamps are posted somewhere or
will any spring clamps do?

While you are replacing all these hoses, get the proper clamps. VW has
superceded most of them to the spring clamp style. Allows for expansion.
Especially important on the plastic connections.
