Pipes and nipples, boy, this goes downhill fast...(and I might add, about
damned time, this list is so damned serious of late...)


Anyway, I went to examine the various <gasp> 8Vs we have around here, and
it MAY be that you have an <bigger gasp> 8V part in there. Or two. Anyway,
the Cabby (JH) and Klaus (modded JH) have that single outlet plastic
version, it hooks up to a hose that runs towards the firewall (I'm saying
heater core). The "water pipe" version in those cars has an upfacing nipple
quite nearby that hooks up to the hose from the bottom of the coolant
overflow bottle. (Or in Klaus' case, it'a capped as he has no overflow
bottle, he was born a 1.6) This overflow hose hooks up to a sidefacing
nipple in the same approximate location on the pipe in the 16V version. And
on my 80 parts car, there is a completely different two spout aluminum
version, we'll call it version C, and don't even ask about the "special
custom plumbing" on that one, it's probably from a Jaguar or something. I
won't be able to look a the Passat in detail till tomorrow, todays's my
"work two jobs" day.

So is that "bypass hose" important? No idea...

Okay, that's enough. a) I prefer wax, b)not planning to incubate anything
else, my firstborn should be enough reason.....

But what I need to know is how many bustles does one need in one's
hedgerow? :)

HTH some at least.
