Just FYI we have never sold this brand of hose. We sell the OE hose in our kits only. Made in Germany by the original manufacturer for VW. Never had a problem with the hose and I have been using it and selling it for almost ten years now. I understand the temptation to use a cheaper hose and advertise a kit for cheaper to get customers coming your way. However in this case it is too critical to skimp. Our kit is $60 but it comes with instructions, stainless steel clamps and enough hose to do the engine bay. I have sold many, many of these over the years and installed many of them on customer's vans. Never had a problem.
