Help keep engine coolant moving to your cabin heater with the Dorman heater hose assembly, part number 626-565. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Beetle, engineered to match the fit and durability of the stock heater hose assembly.

- Ideal replacement: Directly replaces the original heater hose on the listed Beetle applications.
- Durable construction: Specifically designed to withstand extreme temperature changes and resist cracking and leaking.

Signs this part may need replacing include coolant drips or puddles, a sweet coolant smell, a dropping coolant level, a visibly cracked or swollen hose, or reduced heat from the vents. Pinpoint the source of any leak before ordering.
