Heater Core Hose - Supply - B5 1.8T | 8D0819371H

As always the heater core hose was a perfect fit thank you so much

I had a coolant leak coming from the back of head and thought it was the typical flange o-rings or the flange itself. With everything in the way I couldn't pinpoint it even with dye. I ordered an aluminum flange, o-rings, and decided to order this hose just in case. I was a little skeptical with the lone 1 star review but I had no problems with it other than arriving slightly misshapen from storage. I'm glad I ordered it too because it wasn't the o-rings or plastic flange leaking. The plastic connector on the original hose had cracked. For $20, you can't beat the price. No problems with o-ring or seal and I installed on the replacement flange prior to installing on head. Guy with the 1 star must have tried installing it with the flange still attached to the head and probably didn't fully seat it or damaged the o-ring pushing it on crooked. I'd imagine it's a PITA if you don't remove the flange unless you have tiny Trump hands.

I contacted UroTuning about the cheap products they are selling for premium prices. They promised to get back to me with a solution for the poor seals that their product provides. I ended up needing to use sealant to get the parts to work properly when in fact it should have just been an o-ring. They never got back in contact with me and I wouldn't use their services again.
