Starting at the nipple farthest from the electrical connection they are: pump input, from the tank line with the alum nut, via the filter pump output, to the steel line leading back on the left side to the engine overflow (relief) output, joins with the return (right side) line and back to the tank There is a good illustration of all this in the Bentley manual, which you should already have. If you don't have one, I have several in various conditions. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
