What's it > usually called? Can anyone provide a part number? It's usually called the overflow hose, although that's a bit of a misnomer. The part number you need is 311 201 179A, but it's long out of production. You MIGHT find some somewhere at huge prices, but your best bet is to make up some kind of makeshift replacement. Even NOS ones don't last long enough not to disappoint. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
