Mine needs to be replaced. Discovered the leak when I did my SAI pump fix. Leaking this end and the other...looks like a rat chewed it.

 

Photobucket = Fail.

 

photobucket is garbage i cant believe people even use it

That being said its probably the hose to your flux capacitor. I wont know for sure until i see a picture though.

 

Try it as an attachment...

 

Those hoses are to your oil cooler. Don't quote me, but I think that's the inlet side.

 

Part 8N0 121 088 - $90 water hose. Anybody know a reliable way to patch these up? I don't feel like putting $20 of Pentosin in it every month.

 

yeah, if its the hose, go to the autoparts store, and pick up a piece of hose for $.40 a foot, and replace it.

If its the actual sandwich plate, you can either replace it, replace it with a bigger sandwich plate, or upgrade to a real oil cooler.

 

Anyone got any tricks on hose removal? Hose clamp released, but this bastard won't budge...

 

you are probably going to have to take a flathead to it and peel it off. If you are completely replacing it, just cut and razor blade it if you get despirate
