Will this coolant hose fit my specific Vanagon year?

This hose is designed to fit 1983-85 Vanagons equipped with the 1900cc waterboxer cooling system and 1.5" outside diameter cooling pipes.

Is this a silicone hose or a rubber one?

This is an exact reproduction of the original VW formed rubber hose. We offer this version because the original design was known to last for decades and is more cost-effective than silicone alternatives.

How does the quality of this hose compare to the original factory part?

Customers have noted that the material on these hoses is thicker than the original while remaining extremely flexible, ensuring a perfect fit and durable performance.

What exactly does this hose connect to on my cooling system?

This specific hose runs from the long radiator cooling pipe (radiator tube return) to the bleeder valve.

A note on silicone hoses: GoWesty does not offer a silicone version of this hose. If a standard rubber hose is not available, we will at times bring in a silicone substitute. However, there is no evidence that indicates the more expensive silicone material/manufacturing method is superior in any way. This hose is an exact reproduction of the original VW formed hose, which was known to last many decades and are a fraction is the price as compared to a silicone version of the same thing.
