Actually I want to replace my coolant hoses with new ones. My metal pipes are still in very good shape (believe it or not). I'm just wondering if the new hoses that are made for the plastic pipes fit, and if not what do people use for those two coolant hoses on '84-85 Vanagons. Thanks Pascal '84Westy

I think your current hoses will fit.Those other hoses you mentioned are for the plastic pipes and are larger in diameter. The stainless steel replacement metal pipes are usually the same diamter as the origional steel tubes.If they were larger, the metal frame cross member and engine compartment fire wall, where the pipes fit through, would need to be widened. |
