Well, I had my camper all packed and ready for a cross-country trip and noticed that one of the small coolant hoses was pretty rotten-looking, so I decided to replace it. To make a long story short, when I tried to remove the hose it broke the nipple off the plastic coolant flange on the right head, putting my camper totally, completely out of comission until I find a replacement. Naturally I do this late on a Friday eveving when most dealers are closed till Monday. I live in St. Louis, MO and am willing to travel far and pay handsomely if anyone has one of these, new or used. My understanding is that VW has replaced the plastic flange with a metal one. One FLVWD had a late-open parts dept and said it would take a week to get one in, making my spring-break trip an impossibility. Any help would be much appreciated. Bill Dummitt
