Thanks yes that has answered my question.

Ok heres the game for you, what the hell is my rad pipe from, my local vw don't like me as everyone I try is wrong!
The first half of my part number has been wiped off and after asking 3 other Limited owners they have found the same. (This was done to lots of parts on the Limited)
I have tried a Rallye one, but that is too short, a Golf G60 one longer than teh rallye one but still to short and the expan, pipe is in wrong place. After eleiminating etc... with vw part numbers I found a G60 raddo hose ending with the same few numbers but that is wrong too.

So what is it???? It is starting to drive me mad, on teh Limited part number list it has a TP code which is a vw motor sport code, but it means it came from some vw or audi just trying to work out what thinking to 1989

Yes that is what I am going to do if I can't find out what it is, but I would really like to try and find out what car it is from, even if it is just for interest.

bit of a long shot, but Bahn Brenner in Washington do the 16v supercharger kit, and this is mentioned on their webpage

http://www.bahnbrenner.com/bbmservices/16v.html

scroll down to the "Complete Integration Kit" and you'll see.....

BBM SC-16V Upper radiator hose customization

might be worth sending an email their way ?
