Title: WTB: upper radiator hose for AAZ
Post by: annieneff on October 27, 2012, 05:10:59 am: Looking for new. I have a 1.9td AAZ and the main hose that comes off the top of the engine has two arms that come off of it. At both arms there are pinhole leaks, so I'd like to get a new one before the old one bursts all the way.
Any idea's of parts warehouses that sell these things? I haven't been able to find one in my searches. Would Giles have something like this?
Any ideas of where to look will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Engine is in a vanagon.

That is a nice website! Thanks for that. I have an email out to Giles, if he can't come up with it I'll go with them for sure.
Is that website stickied somewhere? Seems too nice not to be known...

Upper radiator hose for 1.9td engine in 1983 Vanagon Camper. This one is the one! Hopefully those words, and the find, come in handy for someone in a future search. Kind of pricey, but there's no replacement for having the right thing. It's going to look a little out of place all silicone shiny and slick looking in my engine bay (maybe I should wait 2 months and get a pink one or something :P), but I'm sure it will get worn in quickly enough.
I'd like to take credit for finding it, but once again all of the credit goes to the man: Giles at Performance Diesel. I owe him at least a case of beer for this one.

Gee-Bee here makes a full set of silicone hoses for the Vanagon diesel, here's his Samba ad page.

Top quality stuff, and the hoses were produced using a full European T3 turbodiesel hose set.
