-- [ From: John Rodgers * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Steven, knowing what I do now, I would recommend biting the bullet and getting the hose from Camelback VW in Phoenix, AZ. for about $20. One thing, you have to remove the oil filter AND the cooler to replace the hose. So I recommend replacing both hoses off the cooler at the same time while you have it apart. Sort of preventive maintenance, you know. John Rodgers '88 Vanagon GL with Honda hose -------- REPLY, Original message follows -------- Date: Wednesday, 31-Mar-99 10:42 PM From: Steven X.
