VW no longer uses the braided stuff. The replacement is a very flexible
silicone (or so it feels) hose. This is also used for the pressurized small
hoses on the cooling system. I am still buying this from the dealer. I have
yet to be happy with the stuff supplied from others. The part number
443-121-107-A. Last time I bought a bunch it was $13.87/meter.

Subject: 7mm braided coolant hose, overflow to pressure

anybody know who carries the oem braided cooling line with the red thread on
the cover. Just ordered the part from one of our suppliers and got 5/16 fuel
injection hose. TOO STIFF and WRONG SIZE  need to use a hose clamp on it
unlike the OEM stuff
