Hey, David I had the same problem a month ago. That hose is a vw dealer part, and is more than a $125.00 For a hose, damn). I too called bus depot, because I ordered the hoses as on their diagram, and received two different hoses than what I needed, I wrote about it. What you can try is get the two separate hoses, connect them to the coolant distributor, and with a tee, connect the heater hose to the trans cooler hose. I actually replaced the one from the rear heater with the trans cooler one, since I don't need either the front or rear, I'm in Puerto Rico, so they're disconnected. Hope you get the idea and get your van back on the road. Hector 1990 Carat "Claudia" ps my van was also out for two weeks, couldn't wait to drive it... |
