Tom-

I couldn't find the hose in the ETKA vw parts list. Although the coolant and
heater hoses are hard to navigate in ETKA.

Ken at www.vanagain.com lists the hose as #13 in his schematic which is VW
part number 251 265 056 B. It lists for $30 on the website.

Ken is a listee and has always been a good source for coolant hoses for me,
and if the hose you need isn't made by VW anymore I'll bet he's got a solution.
Ken is at 856-327-4936 or e-mail at  sales@vanagain.com    Check out the
www.vanagain.com  website and you can look over the schematic yourself. Might as
well change all the ho$e$ while you've got the system open ;)

Ken's usually on the list but I haven't seen a post in a few days.

VW is a bit of a PIA when it comes to some of the coolant hoses and that
impossible to find "H" fitting. And don't get me started on the early 83 bleeder
valve.

Good luck
