• Restoring a tight connection after coolant service or hose replacement
• Addressing coolant seepage caused by a loose flange retention point
• Supporting proper fitment on listed Volkswagen and Audi cooling system applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing retaining spring style and measure the flange width before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, model, and cooling system location, since some listings note primary radiator or at-radiator placement. Inspect the hose flange, seal, and surrounding plastic or metal components for wear before reassembly. Part 31799 is a direct-fit style service component for the listed applications, and the part number should be matched carefully during ordering.
