You have to take out the radio and the airbox, with the airbox controls, then you can reach up thru the airbox inlet hole, into the plenum underneath the fresh air intake louvers. The hose passes thru this space on the way to the nozzle. You'll have to take the nozzle out to replace the hose on it, and that itself is difficult. You won't be able to see what you are doing, but you have to squeeze the nozzle tabs together (L-R) until it will tilt sideways and come up and out. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
