That pipe was still available from VW a few years back - be careful as there are two different sizes of the section that goes to the tank. (Price a few years back was £95 though- my wallet knows, I needed it there and then though)

Hi
A COMMON FAULT THAT CAUSES PIPES TO BURST IS THE INCORRECT EXPANSION TANK CAP
THE OLD BLACK ONES TENDED TO FAIL AND NOT RELIEVE PRESSURE BUILD UP WHICH
I HAVE HAD MYSELF
IF IT IS COLORED BLUE THEN IT HAS ALREADY BEEN CHANGED FOR THE LATER TYPE
AND LIKELY TO BE GOOD
AFTER CHANGING MY BLOWN HOSE AND FITTING A NEW CAP THE VAN DID A FURTHER 20K+
BEFORE SUFFERING A HEAD GASKET FAILURE
