Hi I am trying to find a shop that sells the heavy duty plastic fresh air heater hose.
Anyone know where to try?
Thanks.
Try Whitworths or Bias Boating.
Is this the type of hose you are after ?

Hi
Don't bother with them, they melt.
Steve
Agreed, cheap ones melt but there was some really good quality plastic ones available years ago that would outlast the car.
One of my bugs came with a pair, they even have a VW part number on them and the little manufacture date stamp was 1993 so no idea if they are mexican
or what.
They are still on one of my engines now, very well constucted but are only designed for a stock muffler so only go down as far as the breast plate.
A mates bug has a pair of them too, wish I knew where to buy them.
I do have some 45mm ducting hose that I bought for my A/C that works well as fan shroud heater hose.
Its got a metal spiral wire in it and it some sort of rubberised plastic material that flexes well and can tolerate high heat.
It was dear as poision though, about $50 a meter, but would never need replacing.
Got it at Repco.
CIP only sell these ones, nothing like the original ones Joel posted.

Hi Kev
I tried them as well, they burn eventually and the clips are useless, no heaters now so I have no problems with heater hoses any more.

I always thought they were original equipment on late beetles 75?? 76??
