help me pass aircare!yay I passed.-Danger-

Were they aircooled VW's?
Critical little piece of rubber if you left it off.
I've only done one water pump, after mine failed at 200,000 + miles.
It's that little 3 way rubber connector off the pump, with 3 different 
dimension openings.
No fear if you run into one unexpectedly on your motor.
Based on list feedback, it's apparently a common part available from not 
only VW (at ca, the $70 I paid) but also (for $10-15) at WalMart, Advance 
Auto, Auto Zone, Pep Boys and maybe even Ebay, Sears Roebuck,and Monkey Wards).
Guess you and I are the only ones who see it as an odd part.
But, you never ran into it. That makes it even rarer.
Maybe I imagined it all in a VW dream.
That's OK.
I'd rather rebuild the engine or endure replacing my 86 rack and pinion 
again instead of the little water pump.
Since your three engines didn't even have the part, now I'm really 
wondering where my coolant goes.
