If it is the low pressure hose, no problem. You can buy a replacement length of PS hose at your FLAPS. Just make sure you use power steering hose- water hose will quickly dissolve in the PS fluid. The high pressure hose is another story. Easiest way is to find a good used one, since new ones are very expensive from VW. You can have a high pressure hose made up at a shop, but matching the fittings can be difficult. This same situation applies to the metal power steering lines. The low pressure one is thin and usually is the first one to rust through. It can be replaced with a length of hose. The high pressure one is thicker and rarely rusts through, but when it does finding a replacement becomes a problem. Bill St. Louis, MO www.geocities.com/yosemite/gorge/1706
