Zeal 0 Posted May 14, 2008 hi, does anyone know the part numbers/names for the water hoses that attach to the heater matrix on a 1.8 16v. would be very grateful, been two winters without heat! :oops: if i get on it now i might sort it by autumn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 14, 2008 same as a 2.0 16v and only available from VAG i think so your dealer should be able to order the right parts for you with your Reg plate/engine number they're probably quite steep, so I'd consider samco type hoses made up from a reducer bend from head and some straight lengths VAG parts are: 191 819 373H return (same as 1990=1992 16v golf) 191 819 371H feed (same as all 16v golfs) this thread covers making up the hoses from the supplier called sfs (Google UK them) just re-read that post and it says the head to matrix hose is not available from VAG any more so you may have to make one up.
