Yeah, there sold through mk1autohaus (on ebay) though, and it's actually someone else selling them (but I've always had good experiences with that seller).

I don't use their radiator hoses though, just the regular Meyle ones, they seem to last a long time even if they are made in China now or wherever. On azautohaus.com and gowestyautoparts.com you can get them for pretty cheap.

thanks allot again guys . i have a tiny leak for the past year and it behind the oil cooler, My bet is the metal tube, any chances that the oil cooler itself could leak?

I dont want to disturb anything down there unless i have ammo, (new hoses/pipe)

Thanks for the sites they look to have everything i need except some of the listings are screwy.  I need the 3 leged molded hose that says auto trans when my ECO is manual  Im guessing its an eco thing listing error ,

any more input is always awesome.

Yes there's a good chance the oil cooler can leak, it can leak from the pipes or internally (then you get a coolant/oil mixing situation).

That seems to be the correct hose for the manual as well, a least that is what is in the pickup.  Part number 068121053P.  The new Meyle version isn't all rubber, it has a plastic "T".  Be interesting to see how it holds up (or possibly very inconvenient if it turns out to be less reliable).  Rothenbacher sold a thin all rubber version but it is out of stock. Found an all rubber version available on ebay-Germany...if you can read German to order it  ;)

VW is also out there but pricey.

Turns out his piece isn't being made in silicon.
