Roger-

That part has been superseded by a slightly different part that
requires a hole. The parts guy I know is not 45 but I've known him
now for a few years and trust this information but I would there is a
lot of BS from parts people. The software on Bus Depots site list all
part numbers, it doesn't mean they have them in stock, or even that
they are made any longer.

dear joe
mike says bus depot has this item

http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=N0209022

by the way it is very unlikely anyone working a VW parts desk
who is under the age of 45 will even know this part ...
and twice i have had very experianced parts guys at vw desks say ...
that part does not exist ...
only to find the part available at a different shop...

like the return lines for my diesel injectors
parts stores ... both experienced in diesel
shook heads and knew nothing
the chainsaw  shop which is toro and Husqvarna, Stihl savy
knew immediately on site of the return hose what it was for
and he had the parts...
also to get a air breather element ... the VW shop in Maumee . ohio
rattled all through the ekta
even printed me a picture of what i wanted ...
then said good luck ...
i found it exactly at a tractor supply shop up the road ...

joe ... think outside the box when searching for parts...
and before picking up modification making power tools...
my wife is 17 years younger than me and there is much she doesnt know
that i take for granted and conversely much that she takes for granted
that i have no idea about ...
we both try to keep an open mind ...
we must also do the same with parts ...

So I contacted a parts I know at the local dealer and emailed him a
picture along with this and 3 others paret numbers I found in EKTA
5.3. Two were still available and and the other N 020 902 2 6 X 240
has been superseded by N 906 661 01 4.5 X 200. Bottom line is they
are now using a tie wrap with a Male end as opposed to the female
end. So a hole wold need to be made. I think however if I'm  going to
make a hole I'd rather use a clamp.
