16v metal water pipe - VW Part Num

[jakethesnake180]

Does anyone have the VW part number for this please

Mk2 16v
the 'L' shape metal water pipe which runs along the front of the block.
looks like it runs from the water pump to feed the matrix I think.

Mine is very rotten and on the verge of leaking.

Many thanks

Can anyone recommend a place to get a none VW replacement?
Or set me up with a good condition 2nd hand one.

See the 2nd page in this link of my build thread:

I had the same issue you did, forget trying to replace the pipe like for like, as said it is NLA - Do what I did and replace the metal water line with a thick rubber replacement with metal T-pieces at the end for the connections.  All you need to do is measure the length of the existing metal pipe when you take it off and purchase a length to cover that, then get some T-pieces off of ebay.  I forget the sizes of the inlets on the T-pieces, I think I wrote in my build thread.

Had this setup for a good few months on my mk2 and it is running sweet!
