Hi Volks,
    On 2wd 86 - 91 one of these hoses go from the oil cooler  5/8 to a 3/8
metal pipe and then from 3/8 back to 5/8 and on to the thermostat housing.
A 5/8 heater hose 2-3 feet long replaces 2 of these expensive hoses.  For
more on hoses check out  http://unix1.thelambgroup.com/~tboehler/VW/
