[s-cars] Vacuum lines

[Bob Rossato]

Well, if you don't mind paying through the nose, there is always the dealer.
Though they only sell it by the meter.  I had heard that some FLAPS also
carry the fabric covered hose.

I went to my local VW dealer looking for it and since I only needed about 6"
of hose the parts guy just snipped off a piece from the roll and gave it to
me.  That never would have happened at the Audi dealership.  It pays to
befriend your local VW parts guy.  They seem to have better attitudes.
