Actually, from looking at both it appears to me that on the 1.9 liter hose kit, the only difference is that my kit doesn't include the two hoses to the rear heater core and Ken's does. My kit is $319 for some '85's and $349 for others (see the site for VIN number break), since I send the "proper" kit by VIN number as per the VW microfiche. All original-equipment hoses. Adding the two rear heater hoses would set you back another $40 or $50 or so if you were inclined to replace them. (Incidentally, my '86-up kits _do_ include the rear heater hoses. I suppose I should have been more consistent.) - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. http://www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW |
