IIRC left is inlet (feed), right is outlet (return).

It should be obvious from looking - one end goes to the rad, the other from the engine.

just double checked mate and its the pipe that comes from the engine and not the one that goes down to the water pump

so thats the feed? sorry i must sound stupid but the golf starting to piss me off!

is the plastic cover on the thermostat known as a water flange? as it doesnt list a thermostat cap on the gsf page but it does a water flange (well two, one has engine side in brackets)

cheers for any help

The 'water flange' will be the thermostat cover, the one with (engine) will be on the right hand side of the cylinder head with the big pipe coming of it...
