Problem solved!!...I had the part made up from copper 'bunjie??' pipe.
Bends by hand to any shape, cheap too. Before I got this part I went back
to my VW dealer and asked about any updated part numberes. They then
contacted the German factory and the answer was a rather blunt,
discontinued...sorry...bye.
All is well that ends well.

Thanks to all who helped.
