        I use Green Stripe II  coolant hose from NAPA.  Comes in 250 ft'
rolls.  I have mentioned  this before !

>>>>>>>All the stainless steel coolant pipe  info I have been reading lately
has made me wonder one thing.    Is there an alternative to stainless
steel aftermarket coolant  pipes?   ABS? Rubber?  Chicken Gizzard?  I
called my  local VW dealer today and they informed me all he could get
were plastic  return pipes.  All the plastic from engine to radiator
pipes are gone  for ever.<<<<<<<<
