What makes this Air Intake Hose so much better than the original VW part?

Our Intake Hose is crafted from superior, reinforced silicone, making it virtually indestructible and far more durable than the original rubber part. This means you won't have to worry about replacing it again anytime soon, saving you time and hassle in the long run.

How do I know if I'm ordering the right Intake Hose for my Vanagon?

It's simple! You'll need to select your specific van's drive type from the drop-down menu. This hose is designed for either the 2WD Vanagon or the 4WD Syncro model. Just choose the option that matches your vehicle for a perfect fit.

What is DuroGreen and does it mean this hose will last longer?

DuroGreen is our proprietary material designation at GoWesty, signifying the highest quality, engineered polymer for specific applications. When you see DuroGreen on our Intake Hose, you can be confident it's made from the best, most durable material available, designed for maximum longevity.

What's the warranty on this reinforced silicone Intake Hose?

This DuroGreen product comes with a 10-year, no-hassle warranty for material defects. We're so confident in its durability that if it fails due to a material issue within 10 years, we'll replace it for the original owner. Plus, you have a 6-month window for a full, no-questions-asked refund if you're not completely satisfied.

At GoWesty, we know materials matter—especially when it comes to elastic polymer (“rubber”) parts. Do you ever wonder why OEM parts seem to last many years, but often the replacement parts break down in a matter of months? It’s because manufacturers had to support every part of their vehicles for at least ten years or suffer the consequences of customer dissatisfaction and ultimately loss of sales. The devil is in the details when it comes to the stuff of which parts are made. Just because it looks the same doesn’t mean it is the same! You can have two identical-looking parts in your hand and one of them might be complete junk. If you have a DuroGreen GoWesty part in your hand, you can rest assured it is made of the very best, high-quality material for the application.

We make our proprietary polymer parts green so you can tell it is a genuine, properly engineered, maximum-durability part available only from GoWesty!

Every DuroGreen product comes with a 10-year, no-hassle, 100% satisfaction guarantee.
