[Vwdiesel] radiator hose question

[Scott Alexander]

My radiator recently rotted out and so I replaced it.  Of course the new
one is slightly different than the old one and one of the results seems
to be that the lower radiator hose is near a bolt head one the A/C
compressor.  The result of this was that the bolt finally managed to rub
through the hose the other day causing a decent leak in the hose.  I've
replaced the hose but the new one seems perilously close to the same
bolt.  Has anyone dealt with this successfully?  The car is an '82
Rabbit Diesel with all those extra hoses running around the engine
compartment like A/C, power steering, etc.

Thanks,
