1997 VR6 - Top Rad Hose part no longer available question?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys -

Ive spotted a small leakage of coolant from the plastic join in the top rad hose that provides a T off for the water heated inlet manifold (or at least the throttle housing).

The part number on the bit is N 90723001. VW cant find this - the best alternative I could find is : 1H0122101E - its £73!

What I wanted to know is has this all-in-1 pipe replaced the old one? Because the pic in ETKA looked nothing like whats on my car? Euro car parts do this one for about the same price as VW.

Also - would silicone hoses be worth considering for this item?

Any advice greatly received as its confusing when you cant replace like for like.

PS - from my investigations (looking at SAMCO kits etc) it seems that this is the 1 piece hose I need?

Cheers
