I dunno what car you have so can't advise on a coolant hose set.. Just have a look on eBay, all the big boys advertise their kits on there. As for clamps, I just use good quality Jubilee clips.

If it does that "t" hose is pretty pricy, and they now offer it in silicone.
Then there are silicone kits where youcan get any color of hose that you want.

I have hear of folks using Copper and Sweat fittings to re-make it.

I would have a good look at yours as they do last for some time, I've still got my original metal pipe on both my car and the Scirocco is 40 years old.
A rub down and lick of paint makes them look like new.

That is if the previous owner used proper coolant when they owned it, I have seen some rusted out ones from folks using water only as a coolant. Or they never had to change it and the rust inhibitors were ineffective.
Now that isn't to say folks cracked or crushed them changing out things.

The water feed oil cooler/heater. It also warms the oil so it gets to running temperature quicker.
VW use it on lots of different cars and vans as you can see by the link above, 1st link I found so shop around for the right part.

Personally, I wouldn't use a water stabilized Oil cooler as on the 90's I owned it wasn't installed, but on the 89 I owned and 90 Golfs I have seen it is installed again… Even the corrado's had them in the 90's so I am thinking it was a Karmann thing on Cabbies and not the Golfs of the 90's.
They can go bad, the "T" hose costs out the Wazoo, and well it can intermix the oil to a/f and simulate a bad head gasket.
With the Autos I have, the oil temp was really really up there running down the hot Georgia Asphalt at 80 mph with the a/c running, 130-150 even the water temp started to climb. (the OAT at the road had to be 130f)… So I opted for a Wahler External Oil Cooler off a Volvo 740 Intercooled that I picked up cheap at the "yard" and a Transmisison low profile exchanger off a Chevy that fit nicely in front of the a/c condenser. Needless to say @ 85F running down the road at 90 mph with a/c my car never reaches above 115.

Well I used the on-line ETKA ( http://www.oemepc.com/ ) to find the pipe on my cabby (1993) and then with the part number it was an easy search on google.Deano777 said
how did you find that link on ebay i searched for ages last night and came up short
The bad thing about the ETKA is that you have to remember where things are as the engine cooling information is on the engine tab as some things are in the body and the cooling section is for a/c…. I think they let Bosch design it.
