940 tdi auto 1995
 

hi all
i asked my main dealer if they can get the out let hose from the bulkhead heater matrix supply to the drain of tap on the side of the engine my car is a 940 tdi 1995 . sadly its no longer available from classic parts the part number is 1328109
can any one help me find this hose or is there another alternative ie scone hoses
but it will have to twist and turn plus on the original there is a stepped flange at the drain of tap end .all help much appreciated
regards jim

Is this helping in any way?

You may need to improvise as I am. Sections of 5/8" and 7/8" hose, with brass 90deg. elbow and 7/8 <=> 5/8" reducing coupling. The 5/8" hose connects to the heater core, running downward to the elbow aiming frontward along the engine block, to another 5/8" hose piece running forward along the block, then the reducing coupling to 7/8" hose which fits the drain valve, and the 7/8" hose also for the short piece between the drain valve and thermostat flange.

7/8" coolant (heater) hose may be hard to find. Most my FLAPS did not have, but finally one did, after much calling around. Otherwise, as somebody suggested, a marine (boating) store might be a good bet.

I prefer metal elbows and adapter nipple over the plastic ones the FLAPS had, so found these at Lowes home improvement box store:
Attachment 1156 Attachment 1157

Hmmm, attaching photos not working correctly ATM, but they were brass PEX fittings, the PEX size 1" fits the 7/8" hose, and the 3/4" size fits the 5/8" hose. So a brass PEX 3/4" elbow and brass PEX 1" x 3/4" reducing coupling is what I found to work.

The other heater hose (connects to the rear of the engine block) has already been worked out, using a still available VW molded hose piece to an elbow to another section of 5/8" hose up to the heater core. Details and P/N here: How To: D24T Heater Hose Replacement, On a Budget
