New Beetle - How To Change Heater Hose Coupler

[@donotanimalcrossme2463]

The hoses attached to the connectors you change pretty much snapped in my car and this was the only helpful thing I was able to find on the internet for naming the hoses thank you so much!

[@tedjohnson64]

Brilliant video! Just had this happen to a 2013 VW Beetle.

[@TheGeno2001h]

4 hrs looking for this video thank you

[@williamjones3480]

Thank you. Just found that mine was broken while trying to clear clogs (wishful thinking, maybe) in my return hose through all the elbows and hoses. I was certain I would have to disassemble this “free” project’s interior to replace the whole heater core until I stumbled on your video. You saved me a lifetime of frustration. Now I’m probably only going to have to change the water pump, thermostat, and timing chain to start. It’s been sitting for 5 years, and before that, it was “lovingly” maintained by the worst mechanics in Tijuana for years. Why do I do this to myself for a worthless 1999 beetle?

[@williamjones3480]

With much cursing, I got it replaced. Only one. I have another in case it fails. It would be smart to change both, but that was an ordeal. Getting them back on is difficult.

Great video man, thanks a lot for sharing!!!

Great video

[@1mag1n3tv4]

Oh my lord. Thank you soooooo much.

[@1mag1n3tv4]

Mine recently snapped the other day and I had no idea what it was or how to change it. You saved me hundreds of dollars.

[@zaino660]

You don't need replace this part if is not cracked or liking, but you can remove this connector for use CLR for remove the rust in the heater core..in special if you are living in hard winters place. It go to help for keep running the heater ok in winter .

[@alfredosaucedo153]

Ya le hice como en el vídeo y no puede sacarlo a qué se debió gracias muy buen video

[@luislola]

Thanks

[@boostedzjadventurevlogs4121]

Did you use same part for both? Mine on the left side is cracked, looks like one is a 45° and one is a 90°. Be awesome if they can both go with same part.

[@Data4664]

Thnxs max!

[@bernuimendoza]

Is it possible that coolant leaking inside car could be heater hose connector coupler defective ? Greate video. Thanks

[@newbeetlepr]

It's possible, but in my situation doesn't leak inside the car.

[@gargon2709]

Osea que lo tienes que meter con el seguro puesto ?

[@marveliosguevara9988]

Ty for video

[@abelsainvalladares781]

Que sucede cuando se daña esa pueda por que el mío bota vapor de coolan por los conductos de aire y me dijeron que era la calefacción que tenía escape

[@cw205mi16]

I’m really struggling to remove one of these, Ive got the metal clip out but the connector will not move at all. Is it ok to twist them to break the seal? Also I bought some ratcheting spring clip pliers which makes light work of the hose clips

[@newbeetlepr]

You should pry to remove it. I don't think you can twist it due to the shape of the hose connector.

[@arttapestudio7872]

I had the same issue. The connector would not come off after taking of the clip. What I did was take my spray bottle filled it with warm water and liquid dish soap. I started spraying the connector, letting that warm soapy water penetrate. After a few minutes. I would gently pull back and forward. Spray again. Gently pull back and forward. Spray again. After about 8 minutes it came off. The key is to be patient and let the soapy water work in there.

[@KeyCase-sn7nz]

@@arttapestudio7872today my connector broke while driving, same, tried to pull it out but it didn’t come out, sprayed it with WD-40 and pushed back and straight, after 5 minutes connector popped out

[@jerryxnunez978]

Una pregunta 🙋‍♂️ si mi carro no tiene ninguna manguera conectada ayi que significa? Esta cancelada la calefacción? Dé esho no sale aire caliente cuando lo enciendo.

[@newbeetlepr]

Exactamente! Está eliminada la calefacción, por lo tanto, no sale aire caliente.

[@RicardoMedrano-i6d]

Help! The connector was easy to take off but now it won’t go back in.

[@alcon04]

que hacer si no quiere salir? lei en otros comentarios que no debe hacer twist por la forma. sigo jalando? no se quebrara nada por dentro o del otro lado? Gracias!

[@newbeetlepr]

Así mismo, solo debes halar porque tiene cierta forma que no va a permitir darle vuelta. Verifica que no tenga el clip puesto que es lo que lo asegura. Si no lo tiene y aún así no sale hala lo más que puedas y busca otras alternativas como hacer palanca o echarle algún lubricante para que afloje.

[@alcon04]

@@newbeetlepr Felizmente logre sacarlo como habias mencionado. gracias!

[@emmanuelmata4602]

​@@alcon04como lograste sacar amigo el conector al igual está como pegado ya le quite seguro cuál fue tu tecnica

[@alcon04]

@@emmanuelmata4602 Mi tecnica creo que fue tener mucha paciencia y cuidado. despues de quitar el seguro empieza a moverlo al mismo tiempo "jalando", no twist y hasta que poco a poco vaya sediendo. suerte!

[@HellaMeiste]

I have leak on the connector to upper radiator, I purchased a new connector ( febi) and it’s the right one but I have problem to fit it it won’t in and click I mean it’s hard , I don’t want to break something on the push, do I need to to lubricate or something to make it easy and click? Thanks

[@ArazBG]

Same here! I didn’t hear anything clicking and it makes me nervios that it might be still loose

[@HellaMeiste]

@@ArazBG 3 days ago i realized that this febi was “ made in China “. I purchased another brand VAICO made in Germany and well fine easy to fit I did only no more than 60s to fix the leak ! Made in China is always suck diff on diameter both by purpose

[@ArazBG]

@@HellaMeiste the thing with mine is that I didn’t replace it, the original one was loose, it didn’t broke or anything, and when I put it back, it didn’t click anything but it was impossible to push more, that’s why I’m not sure if I put it correctly

[@HellaMeiste]

@@ArazBG I believe that basically something liked this part is one time use until it breaks, whenever something happens or loosen it should be replaced with a new one, simple because it’s plastic thing maybe it won’t seal right after all especially on the cooling systems , get a new connector if it is the right one OE/OEM with just a little hard push it will fit in and click I guess I don’t like to repair anything and bring my car to dealer or stealer, usually they will break another without customer know it

[@zamz7978]

Nah pulling that connector from the heater core made it look easy. Mine is a 2005 jetta and the connector is stuck so lich that I feel they ilused crazy glue when they put that on. I don't wanna use too much force because I don't wanna break the core side of the connector

[@miatamariah7163]

Mine cracked while driving and my oil pressure light turned on and shortly after my Beetle began to overheat. Is this normal when these go bad?

[@kger4643]

How do you access this??

[@co__or9028]

Hey, my Volkswagen Golf c clip won’t click in, I’ve tried it open and closed, what should I do

[@newbeetlepr]

If won't click may needs to be replaced with a new one.

[@desidinero2960]

Can the hose be connected straight onto the wall metal hose without a coupler? Thanks

[@ShadowPlay1919]

I'm confused. You slid the clip part in before attaching it. Dont you need to have it open and when it is in slide clip shut? Ill try it your way lol

[@newbeetlepr]

Hi! I'm insert it with the clip closed to fit in automatically in the correct position. You can try both ways, clip open or closed. Thanks for watching.

[@ArazBG]

Yes I have the same question than him... if I try with the clips closed it doesn’t let me, I had to open them, insert and close it back... but how am I 100% sure that I put it right?

[@momasa5004]

Where l cant buy..please

[@newbeetlepr]

You can find this part on websites like eBay, ECS Tuning or RockAuto by searching with his part number: 1J0 122 291D.

[@emmanuelmata4602]

Que fácil lo quita el mío es como si estuviera con algún pegamento o talvez por el calor se pego

[@axa.axa.]

Viewers be warned. This guy is replacing with URO parts, possibly the lowest quality parts available for this vehicle, doesn't seat the hose completely on the new connector, and then reuses the spring clamps which is not advised.

[@newbeetlepr]

Thanks for the advice
