Coolant Pipe Failure

[Mikey_VKG]

I had a coolant leak show up this past week. I pulled the metal pipe off and found a good couple of hole rusted through. I might be able to weld it, but I would rather replace the whole thing. It's about 2ft long and a 90* bend on each end.




I have no clue where to find the pipe. I might have a better chance of finding used, but I would rather have new and both new hoses on either end.

Does anyone know where to find this peice? I searched ebay and ecs tuning and both had nothing.

My car is an '01 GLX 5speed. Thank you very much.

Try "VW Parts" - "Volkswagen Parts" - Parts and Accessories Catalog.


Maybe #22?

Are there any part #'s on the pipe? Considoring the high price of genuine VW parts; you might take the pipe to radiator or hydraulics shop and have the them fabricate one for you; mabye save some dough, just a thought.

Quite common issue. There were a few threads discussing it several years ago. I had to replace it on my '03 TS and I replaced it on another member's '00 GLX. I recall that the part set me back $36 from VW. There is a part number stamped on it on the piece of flat metal that keeps it from turning in the 2 straps that hold it in place.

The VW part number is 1C0 121 065

The last one I bought cost about $50.00 at the dealer.
You can mail order them cheaper but in the end it will cost you the same when they add in the shipping and handling charges.

I tried to have mine welded, but the metal is to thin, all it did was melt away.

I did find a replacement in the junkyard.

Thank you for all the help. I more or less just made my own out of some spare aluminum tubing. It's not exactly the same, but it works. I would like to replace it with an oem vw part. But I need to get to work right now.

Thanks again.
