Will this Expansion Tank to Water Pump Coolant Hose fit my 1986-1991 VW Vanagon Syncro?

Yes, this Coolant Hose is specifically designed for the 1986-1991 VW Vanagon Syncro models with the Waterboxer engine.

If you have a Syncro from these years, this hose is the right fit for your cooling system.

How does this aftermarket Coolant Hose compare to silicone hoses in terms of quality and value?

This hose delivers excellent performance and durability at a more wallet-friendly price point than premium silicone alternatives. It’s constructed from robust rubber materials that closely match the original VW hose in both flexibility and fitment. While silicone hoses offer extended lifespan and a unique look, many Syncro owners have found that these quality aftermarket hoses provide reliable service and value for money, especially for stock or mildly upgraded vans.

Is installation straightforward, and are there any tips for replacing this coolant hose on my Syncro?

Replacing the Expansion Tank to Water Pump Coolant Hose is a manageable DIY job for most Vanagon owners. Make sure the engine is cool before starting, and thoroughly clean the hose connection points for a snug fit.

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
