Neil, the water outlet you have is for auto trans MK3's.

The part you need is the one for manual trans cars.
Arizona Autohaus has it, PN# 037121144H, $8.22.

Just plug the PN into the search function.

Subject: Different coolant outlet housing on Jetta head? PICS (Vanagon
Conversion)

Hi all.

I studied the Jetta cooling system today and have a good handle on
what flows where and have a general idea of how to adapt the system to
my Vanagon.

But....

Is there a substitute for this part (coolant outlet housing on engine head):

with an outlet for rad, (1 - 1/4") and only 1 outlet for standard 5/8"
heater hose?

The smallest outlet is 3/4" OD. I'd have to reduce to connect to 5/8"
heater hose and plug one of the openings.

The thought was to reduce the amount of splices and/or reducing parts.

Flange opening to head ~   1 - 1/16"  x  1 - 5/16".  Stud hole to stud
hole: 2 - 5/8" OC. Narrow end on water pump side of head.

A long shot, but I figured this is the place to ask!

Thanks much!

Neil.
