I'm sure all the folks who have done a head job have long since changed out this chunk of junk. This rates right up there with the plastic gas line nipple coming into the engine compartment.

Jeffrey, thank you for the P/N... once I got the thing out the p/n for the "old style" flange 025121160C was molded on there.

Anyone who has a Vanagon with the old style plastic flange w/O-Ring should get one of these ASAP as I narrowly averted disaster when it failed spectacularly in my driveway, the day AFTER coming home from a trip. It's completely warped. I even think this was where the tiny but mysterious coolant leak I could never locate was coming from. The new ones are steel & use a flat gasket instead.

If all this is in the archives, and I've relatively sure it is, sorry for the re-hash... but maybe I'll save another poor slob, like myself, from being stranded.
