I checked with my local VW dealer parts counter.  They told me this part is
available and ordered one for me.  It has not come in yet, so we'll see for
sure, but might be worth a call to the local dealer.  If not I'm sure
something could easily be substituted for the actual pipe, but it's the
plastic nipples that would be the problem.  One option might be
http://emachineshop.com/.  Perhaps they could fabricate one from an old one.
Not sure of set up cost etc., but might be doable if several people go in.
As far as the intake elbow boot... I gathered from the thread that
025129967A IS still available for the 1.9 but what was the verdict on the
025129627L for the 2.1?  I couldn't tell if this one is still available or
not.  Any insight?
Thanks,
Mike

VW part # 251 201 147B, gas tank overflow cross over, apparently is NLA.
And the online vendors seem to be out (confirmed with Bus Depot and
Van-Cafe, not listed with others). Anyone have one floating areound or a
used one in good shape?
