An absolute MUST HAVE for all MK3 VR6 owners with 5sp trans — the upper radiator hose on these models is quite a pricey item from dealer — usually about $100. The most documented cause of replacement on this hose is due to the plastic Y adapter fitting which connects the 3 short hose pieces. The VW Y pipe cannot be bought separately, and is not suited for the high temperatures under the hood. Hell, its plastic — what did you expect?!

Dont buy the OEM plastic part when you can buy this BILLET ALUMINUM TIG welded replacement part for half the price!

If you need a custom water temp sensor port welded on, please let us know. We are happy to perform customization on ANY of our products.

Application : MK3 VR6 and B4 Passat VR6 w/5 sp trans and 1.8T New Beetles (all years)
