1972-1979 Bus Heat Exchanger Riser Tubes - OEM Number(s) (071-256-051,071-256-052)
If your VW's heater is currently more of a wish than a feature, these heat exchanger riser tubes are a big step toward getting real warmth back in the cabin of your Bus. These are the tubes that route the hot, clean air from the heat exchangers up to the heater control box where your heater cable hooks in, so when you pull that lever you actually get heat instead of disappointment. Old riser tubes love to rust out or leak air over the decades, which means your Bus can’t push warm air where it’s supposed to go. This pair is a direct replacement with a galvanized finish to fight corrosion, and it even comes with brackets so you are not improvising with mystery hardware. Bolt them on, hook everything up, and enjoy having heat.
