My 2001 Eurovan GLS just had major work done on transmission, timing belt and various parts. Mechanics recommends replacing cooling hose assembly (part no.7D0 122 051). Haven't been able to find it in North America. Some European parts distributors carry but reliability and delays are an issue. Anyone have that go to parts dealer on our side of the Atlantic? Anyone tried patching radiator hoses and sealing connections? I've heard some aviation products work well; when your up there, they have to right?? I'd prefer new with the $$$$$ I've spent so far but availability is proving to be a challenge. Suggestions please...
