me with the coolant leak. i will fix this myself tomorrow, guaranteed- but it'd be a lot easier if someone could help please!
the fat short hose leading from the bottom of the radiator: where does it go? where might this be leaking from? i had a vw for 9 years- no coolant system!
thankyou very much,
mike

Mike,

The bottom radiator hose goes from the radiator to the water pump. I just replaced mine. The hose became soft and spongy where the hose clamp clamped around the end of the hose (in this case the radiator end.) It started to drip.

I was unable to find  a direct fit hose. I had to purchase a cut and fit hose. As it turns out the cut and fit hose is almost a direct fit. I think I cut about 2" off one end and 3" off the other. I took the old hose with to the auto parts store (Auto Zone) to make sure I was purchasing something that would work.  I put the old hose up against the new and marked it. I ended up with a good fit.
