Does anyone know what the description is for this part so I can find the part number for it, or better still if you know the part number. It seems like it is another discontinued part from VW!

the little bit of rubber hose?

Nope - it's the metal pipe that runs back to the pump Looks like it's about £63 from vwheitage.com and a good 270 odd to fit! Sometimes I wish I had forgone the gael and dug an inspection pit!

Is it the lowest of the two pipes in this photo that you're after?

That cost £57 plus vat from VW last Autumn ... oh and I had 'the last one' in the UK ... allegedly

I believe it is the the lowest one pictured above. It seems quite a hard beast to find. Cheers Mr H, do you know the part number for that? It may be extinct in these parts, but if I can search further afield for it...

Also, does this mean my van doesn't have what I thought was a later model 1.9 watercooled DG engine in ? Which would be wierd as it's a 1989 model, but the guy selling it let me know that it has had a new (not reconditioned) engine put in it.

Have a look for your thermostat housing . . . is it a metal one that is bolted onto the side of the water pump, as in the photo (early DG), or is it a black plastic one that is sited higher up and not directly fastened to the pump (late DG engine).

Here's a photo here which may help . . . thermostat housing is sat at the back of the engine bay, not next to the water pump. Air filter housing is a different shape to early DG as well:

It's in the garage at the moment, but I've a feeling the thermostat housing is separate further to the left and up a bit. Which would make it a later DG, but that wouldn't make sense if the later water pipe doesn't fit right?

Sorry, I've exhausted my very limited knowledge of the later DG engine! Have you had a look on the vagcat website? It's free to register and you might be able to see the pipe you need there, and get a part number for it.

Yup - I did that yesterday cheers. But, I could only seem to find models > 1990 on there - I must be looking in the wrong bit.

The curved pipe which goes behind the crankshaft pulley is what I bought ... part # 025121151 lists on vagcat at 38.45 Eurodisneydollars (cost more from VW here in't UK though ?)

Hmm, I think that just might be the fella. I'll double check with the garage, and then buy the thing if it allows me. You're a great help Mr H.
