WTB: Coolant distribution pipe

[lord_verminaard]

Need the metal coolant pipe that goes from the water pump around toward the rear of the engine on the drivers side, A2 chassis.  I don't know if there are differences between diesel, gasser, AC or no AC, but this car does have AC if it matters.   

Thanks,

Brendan

I have one does your car have an oil cooler? I have both types actually...

[lord_verminaard]

No oil cooler.  How much you want for one?

I'd take 10 bucks for it it's in real good shape but how do you ship something like that?

[ilikevwdiesel]

I looked in the pile but all of my pipes are for ones with oil coolers. I guess you could put a plug on the nipple for the oil cooler line, or I can hook you up with an oil cooler for another 10. pm me if you're interested.

[ilikevwdiesel]

There's actually an OEM plug for just such instances.

to all the posters on this thread looking for a coolant pipe, but I took a close look at the ones I have and they are rusted in the corners and I don't want to send anyone any junk. sorry for the dragass...

[theman53]

could you please post a pic of one and maybe I could make one for myself. Thanks for the update

GAP has them for $36-ish new, that's probably where I will get mine.  They sell the plug too.

Junkyards are mostly useless around here.
