In Europe there are pages and pages of coolant pipes in ETKA.
Mind you, you didn't get all the engines did you?
Just to 2.5l petrol and the VR6?

There was a similar Vanagon hose thread back in 2010 in which the OP eventually offered up his services, which led to new diesel hoses getting produced and a group buy offered up; that thread remained.

For future reference, guys:

An ad is if you are selling something.
Group Buys... not an ad (although can be annoying and sometimes turn into ads)

Seeing if someone has interest in a product, even if you are the one that is going to make it... not an ad. But this sort of thing is a fine line and they often have been locked in the past if it becomes an ad.

Right now, the EV hoses are in the planning stages; product is not currently available.

Edit: Irrelevant posts removed. In the future, just hit the "report" button on posts/threads you find questionable. :wink:

Also, GEEBEE, if you are seriously wanting to pursue this venture, I suggest posting your desires over in the Van forum on VWvortex ~ it's 98% EV folks in there.

EV haters gonna hate. Don't worry about it GEEBEE, that is just what happens here.

And please stick with this group as well. I think there are a lot more T4 owners here that you might suspect from the response. It is just that when they stick their heads up...well you saw what happens.

I got a set of Guy's sili NLA dieselhoses for that came to exist from a idea post exactly like this one. Quality is 100% and fit was perfect. Price was on par for the product.

He's not going to tool up for a massive initial order of... one from a classified ad.

WTF would you guys have against him doing the same for EV's... :roll:

What have you done to better the community that even come close to GB's contribution? What NLA comnponent have you found a solution for?

Try to think of this in a crowdsourcing model kind of way. Pre-order now or pay more later when its an established product.

Who ever comes up with a complete set to copy of each version gets a freebie if we can get a group buy of ten sets.

If not, Iam sure you will be seeing a parts house that will do the same and you owners will pay a extra 45 %

I can supply a set of hoses for the 2.5 L 5-cylinder gasoline engine. There was an engine change in 1995. I have both pre-95 and 95. I will check to make sure the hoses are the same.

My post supporting you was removed by the moderators for some reason. I'm Sorry there are some nerds on this forum that don't understand that you are only trying to help. Anyone that doesn't know the benefit of a lifetime silicone coolant hose should do some research. Best of luck. I have lost all hope for this forum. Good Bye.

Melodrama aside, next time it may be a part YOU need that went from NLA to someone knocking out a few.

I don't wave at EV's :D
