Tom,
I just had the same hose go belly-up.  I checked with the Bus Depot and Ken
Wilford (www.vanagain.com), and unfortunately there are no aftermarket or
alternative sources for VW hoses.  Ken did suggest to try an a/c place or
NAPA to get a hose made up, but in the end I decided to swallow the 300-odd
clams and buy the hose from VW instead.  On the compressor, I would use Ken
or the Bus Depot...much cheaper, as you have found.
