Actually I just updated my prices on this page.  Here are the new prices:
$361.80 for kit for manual tranny 84-85
$507.80 for kit for automatic transmission 84-85

All hoses are either VW dealer hoses or German.  I have tons of these earlier
hoses in stock as I figured that folks that have been running around with the
same coolant hoses for 15 + years would want to replace thier old hoses more
than folks with the newer vans.  Actually it has turned out to be the
opposite, I can only guess that people with the newer vans think about PM
more for some reason (not trying to put anyone on a guilt trip or anything :)
 My opinion is that coolant hoses look really cheap when you are looking at a
blown up motor (I have looked at several this summer) but then it is too
late.  After fuel lines, I would say coolant system components are the next
highest priority for the Vanagon.  It won't kill you and your family if a
hose blows, but it will probably kill the engine and leave you stranded
somewhere that you might not want to be.

Thanks,
