Type 1 Heat Exchanger Bundle Kit - 1200cc To 1600cc Models

This 50mm aluminium corrugated warm-air hose is primarily used on air-cooled Volkswagen engines to connect the fan shroud outlets to the heat exchangers (heater boxes), ensuring correct airflow for cabin heating and effective engine temperature control.

With a 1000mm length and 50mm internal diameter, one hose is typically long enough to cut in half and replace both left and right heater box hoses on Type 1 engines. If you are also replacing the warm-air pre-heat hose from the air cleaner to the exhaust tinware, a second hose will be required.

Manufactured from corrugated aluminium, this version offers increased durability and resistance to moisture, heat, and oil contamination compared to traditional cardboard hoses. It is ideal for long-term use, upgraded engines, or vehicles driven regularly, while still maintaining a period-correct appearance.

The hose can also be used anywhere a 50mm internal diameter air duct is required, making it suitable for a wide range of classic and later Volkswagen applications.

Internal diameter: 50mm

This reproduction left-hand heat exchanger is a good quality replacement for the original unit fitted to 1200cc–1600cc aircooled Type 1 engines. Designed to restore efficient cabin heating and proper exhaust flow, this unit fits a wide range of classic VW models including the Beetle, Splitscreen, Baywindow, Karmann Ghia, Buggy, and Baja from 1963 to 1979.

The heat exchanger channels hot air from the engine cooling system into the cabin, making it an essential part of your VW’s heating setup. It also acts as part of the exhaust system, meaning a failing or rusted unit can cause both performance loss and reduced heat output.

This left-side unit is a direct replacement for the original and can be installed with standard tools and fittings. If you also need the right-hand side, refer to part number 043255108.

For a complete and cost-effective solution, check out the bundle kit (part number 043298250KIT), which includes the heat exchanger along with air hoses, seals, and all required fittings—everything you need for a full install or overhaul.

Applications:

• VW Beetle: 1963–1979

• VW Splitscreen Van: 1963–1967

• VW Baywindow Van: 1968–1979
