From the archives:

The coolant distribution unit is a plastic piece that routes coolant from
the engine to the radiator and rear heater core. For some reason the syncro
uses a different part than regular vanagons (different hose routing
maybe?).Anyway, VW has made a change on this part you now have to order a
plug to go along with it. Here are the relevant part numbers:
251 121 442 coolant distribution unit
357 121 140 plug
025 121 142 clip
N90316802 O ring

87 syncro Westfalia
