Did it 6 years ago, then replaced it again this year as even though it was
still good.  When I first bought my van, the original VW hose was hard and
broken and the van stalled (VW couldn't figure it out, previous owner
replaced lots of FI stuff and ignition stuff).  Cheap fix, even if I had to
do it every 6 months, it's still cheaper.
