There are 4 a/c high pressure hoses.  My local VW dealer quoted me prices
ranging from $73 for the short one to $382 (gasp) for the longest.  My
mechanic says that virtually every hose can be repaired, and at a much
lower cost.

Next week my a/c system gets checked, and I know there is at least one bad
hose.  As soon as mine are repaired, I will be happy to forward the results
and prices.
