It's a dealer-only hose. That's where we get it from. Check with your local VW dealer. They do daily parts orders from VW's parts depots for the benefit of their service department. They pay a premium for those daily shipments, versus their weekly ones, so they may not be crazy about doing it for you, but they can do it. However, if it turns out that VW themselves are out of the hose, then you're sh*t out of luck. ;-( Odds are VW was sold out when we ordered them or we'd have gotten one, but they could have received more by now. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW |
