The drainage is pretty standard, the hosepipe is just engine breather.  :huh:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Hose pipes, a favourite bodge by my uncle when in a pinch and needing to use his beetle or 'fix' my mothers  :laugh:

Hose pipes are very useful short term fixes for mk2 water pipes... they are a perfect fit for one of the pipes that went on both my old mk2s
