robrado974 1 Posted August 28, 2018 What’s the best place to by please . It’s for a VR . Kind regards Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted August 28, 2018 Hi Rob I presume you mean the black plastic coolant pipe that runs along the engine block to back of water pump ? If so these guys sell some I think. https://www.vwspares.co.uk/VW_Corrado_Cooling.php?model=2.9%20VR6 I've ordered a few parts from them in the past, and haven't been a problem. Also there seems to be some on Ebay. Have you tried Heritage / Classic Parts for a genuine one ? I'm not sure if Euro Car Parts, or GSF do that pipe as I couldn't see it on their websites.

robrado974 1 Posted August 28, 2018 Hi Si . Yes that’s the one . I was going to ring heritage today but was to busy . I will ring them tomorrow. Could do with a new header tank too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted August 28, 2018 Header tank is a long-time obsolete I'm afraid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted August 28, 2018 I should have remembered that , my bad . Just checked again and it’s the G60 tank that’s in stock, presuming it’s different from the VR ?. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted August 28, 2018 Completely different I'm afraid Rob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted August 28, 2018 I've just been looking at this last night. I was considering going for the metal version of the crack pipe at VW International. .... I look forward to seeing what you get Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted August 28, 2018 Looks like there's a company in Germany called ARZ Tuning, I've bought a few things from them as well back in 2015. Rob looks like they also do that plastic cooling pipe, here's the link below from their Ebay sale page. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thermostat-Housing-Water-Pipe-Set-VW-VR6-CORRADO-GOLF-III-Passat-Sharan-T4/323228572975?hash=item4b41ec9d2f:g:H1cAAOSweW5VesTN Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted August 28, 2018 Damn, just threw out a spare header tank i had Rob. Thought about the mk4 replacement instead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simeon 0 Posted August 28, 2018 You can get the crack pipe brand new from VW for about £30 Alternatively Heritage sell Topran ones for about a tenner, they are pretty decent quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
