I leaned on the plastic elbow while replacing my upstream O2 sensor and cracked it. Watched this before I did it and it was a breeze. Helps to spray a little lubricant on the hose while feeding back up to the heater core. I had a few pieces of the heater core neck break off, but more than enough to reconnect the hose. Thanks for the video
I just finish working on a damned passat v6, fix a leak of coolant in the front and some other things, to actually end up repairing a leak in another part of the engine bay.
Hi Brad, I have a 2008 Passat 2.0L FSI Turbo. Our lower heater hose connector busted and all the coolant drained out. We did not let it overheat.... So anyways, how do we get this connector off, it seems melted onto the heater core pipe... have tried cutting it, pulling it with pliers, using a screw driver to pop it off to no avail... Hope you see this, thanks for your vids!

Noticed this 2003 doesn't have this connector, seems your hose goes directly onto the metal heater core pipe....
You have to remove the clip and spray it with some lubricant and wiggle it off.
I have a 03 Volkswagen Passat but it’s manual & I need to change essentially all the hoses because their dry rotted would it be the same process?
Yes all the hoses are the same except maybe if there is a cooler mounted to the trans but other than that it's the same
Replace them all, probably all of them are in the same state, just about to die. If you don't have a v6 passat, then it shouldn't be such a PITA work.
Shit....shit..SHIT!!
Can you please by chance do the other hose for me please.
No problem
