The non-kosher part is my slight buggering with this part number.  That hose
has been no longer available from the dealer for quite some time.  So long
in fact that I couldn't find what the original part number was.  So I just
substituted my own part number which just so happens to be a part number of
another hose which I never sell.  The good news is that if you order this
hose from me, I'll know which one you want and can get it for you.  The bad
news is that if you try to use this part number somewhere else you are not
going to get the right hose (because it doesn't exsist anyway).
Hope this explains things.

I'll tell you, that diagram does not match what I see when I look down on my
85 1.9 L.  What I have is depicted on page 19.10 of the Bentley manual,
described as 1983-1985 water cooled.  This also matches Ken Wilfy's diagram
(Van-Again) at the following link

http://www.vanagain.com/19lchc.htm

which he describes as an 83-85 1.9 L waterboxer.

But if I take the part number Ken gives and look it up on Ron's site, I get
a description that reads "Feeder Hose, Engine-Rear Htr 'T', 2.1L Vanagon."

Somethin' ain't kosher.

(assured by many that it's a 1.9 L engine)

know what the VW part number is for the coolant hose coming off the right
side front of the engine going forward?  Most likely T's to the rear heater.
This hose is one size at the engine and another size at the other end.
