Silly formed hose? Say what? Yep, Volkswagen loved to use unnecessarily complicated formed cooling hoses on their vehicle cooling systems. These proprietary hoses had unusual bends, and oftentimes different inlet and outlet sizes. They are a weak point just asking for trouble a problem waiting in plain sight. As we well know, a burst hose can put a hard stop on your travel plans. Often times leaving you stranded with few options other than a tow to the nearest shop and an unfortunate couple of days waiting for that very specific original-equipment replacement. Here at GoWesty, we love to eliminate these vacation killers whenever we can.
