Based on your description the hose you need is 25mm (1") at the end that plugs onto the head and narrows down to 16mm (5/8") for the heater junction tee. There is a common VW hose that does this, under $10 171 121 611E It will be too short. The Vanagon hose normally goes bad at the head end. You can cut off the bad end and splice in the above hose that is about a foot long. Use a 5/8" hose splicer to attach it to the remaining original hose. Or get some additional 5/8" heater hose and splice the 2 new sections to make a new hose the full length. Mark
