Anyone have advice where I could get a hose kit for a B1. Mainly the hoses from the waterpump to the heater and the water bypass neck from the head...

Having trouble just doing general searches on the internet.. nothing goes that old... :(
Dorothy keeps blowing hoses... Probably original hoses on the old girl.... Have replaced everything else, so figure time to do them too now....

Upper and lower radiator hoses can be gotten from German autoparts - look in the dasher section.

They've got the vertical bypass hose as well, there's a few variations depending on your motor.

The heater hoses can be made with straight hose.

The plumbing in these varies a bit. Get some photos up of your engine bay and point out which bits you're after.

I think I used a couple of mk1 golf hoses in places.

I found that there there was a lot of unused outlets and things and simplified some of the hoses.
