That hose is (believe it or not) still available new at VW.� I recently piced one out.� Roughyl around $40 for the whole hose.� You cannot buy just the fitting because it is shrink molded onto the hose.

I doubt any auto part store would have that.
Dealer or junkyard only.

Hmmm.... you broke the fitting? The white plastic part that the black
plastic tube goes into?� I wonder if you could go to a foreign auto parts
store to get something like that?� Bring the original part and have them
match it up.� I would imagine gowesty or vanagain would have that part as
well.� But if you have a junkyard with a vanagon in it - i'd be crawling all
over that thing (haven't seen one in a junkyard around here in years - sw
michigan).

good luck!
