Hi,
Anyone know if you can still get the steel pipes that connect to the long flow/return rubber hoses on the engine end. Just had a look underneath & they look dangerously rusty but can's seem to find anyone selling them.
Cheers.

Not sure they do. I don't need the full length stainless steel sections just the short bits going from the long hose to engine.
Cheers.

Re: Early steel coolant pipes
I bought mine from Coolair VW and it was a really good fit. They stock all the stainless pipes you need. Link below

Re: Early steel coolant pipes
you need to make it clear what you need
from factory the go from below the radiator to the engine bay 1 piece each.
if you don't have full length pipe then they have previously been repaired!

Re: Early steel coolant pipes
Ok - that makes sense. I reckon they've been repaired at some time in the past and some rubber hose bits have been replaced with steel. Thanks for clearing that up.
