I believe that hose is the feed hose from the head to the tee for the
heaters. The part # is 025-265-055-E. Confirm when you order it. Use the
later spring clamps, not the worm clamps that were originally installed.
If the tees are original, replace them with the new plastic ones.

Subject: Need help indentifying 85 Vanagon hose

My 85 Vanagon 1.9l has sprung a leak. Good news is it's just a hose, not
the head. Bad news is I can't find the part on any of VW's diagrams, I
have
no Bentley for this vehicle, and there are no part numbers evident on
the hose.

The hose connects the engine (just underneath the air meter/intake
thing)
and a junction box. That box seems to connect to the rear heater and of
course also to a hose that goes on to the radiator. I wish I could give
more information but I'm just a novice shadetree mechanic at best.

All I can read on the hose is the VW Audi symbol and "AVON ENGLAND"
I've put up some pictures (please forgive the poor quality of the
images)here:

I appreciate your help! This van is currently my daily driver and I'm
stuck!
Thanks
