Subject:Re: Cooling system hose diagram

Nice to see a good effort at a better diagram.
Only has one heater core shown though.

I challenge anyone to come up with an actual accurate hose count for a
2.1 waterboxer vanagon.
I mean *every* single rubber hose in the entire van that has coolant
flowing in it.  Might be 50 even, though that sounds high.

minor count difference between man trans and auto trans of course..
and syncro is likely slightly different..

so let's just say manual trans 2WD 86 or later Vanagon ..
an accurate count of every single hose, from engine to both heater
cores, to radiator  and everywhere else in the entire cooling system.
That can't be impossible ...but it sure feels like it is, or almost is.
anyone ?

what fun,
Scott
