Attn 16V owners. Radiator hose ID help needed.

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

There are at least 3 different size radiators for Scirocco. 525mm, 570mm and 
675mm.
That's the length of the core i.e between end tanks.
If yours is a 525mm then I'd think a standard 86 8V upper hose would 
probably fit. The outlet on the 16V head is pretty damn close to the 
position of the outlet on the JH 8V head IIRC.
Ought to work if it's the 570 also.
For the 675mm I think an upper hose off a late 80's A2 8V would work.
Anybody that knows better, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Dan
