[Vwdiesel] Plastic line from vane vacuum pump to brake booster

[Bryan Belman]

Oh, I was not reading that properly.  I am not sure if they have it in that diameter, but I bet they do.
Would a spare I have from  a Vanagon work, do you have a picture of it you could send?

Ken, you could also go to Lowes and get the polyetholine (sp) line for $1.22 a foot and use this.  the inside diameter is perfect, 3/8" ID works fine.  I took the barb with me from a spare banjo connection and it works great.
If you want to heat this and bend it to the same shape you sure could.

Well, I was able to "patch" mine. Plugged broken nipples with small screw and silicone sealer. Will try to get proper check valve
and grommet soon. My plastic line is 9mm I.D. and 12mm-13mm O.D. I will cotinue to seek my heat gun and experiment. ken

It can simply be replaced with the standard Vw vent line in that size. I 
don't recall exactly what size, but 7mm seems to come to mind.

The hose splits all the time on late model VAG's, and we just replace it 
with the older flexible stuff. Never have any issues after
replacement.
