List Members: I have a 1989 Vanagon camper. It's a beauty and I've traveled throughout the USA in it. But I have a problem that is familiar to owners of Vanagons of similar vintage. A coolant hose that goes over the transmission is unavailable. My manual is in the van which is in the shop, so I can't provide a more specific description of the hose but I know many of you will be familiar with this problem. I need information about how to deal with this aging but irreplaceable coolant hose. My mechanic has already had a supply warehouse searched for something similar that he might modify to fit the needed hose. No luck. I've also checked with every vendor I know of on the internet with no success. I can get every other hose but not this one. Has anyone found a solution to this problem that you would be willing to share with the List? Thank you. Dan Roberts |
