Anybody got a source for these?
They hold the hose just above the transmission.

Dealership. I believe they are still commonly used today. About a buck a piece IIRC.

Any flaps has ones that will work or if you want original VW ones contact Chris at Busted Bus or Ken at Busco.

Junk yard item.
Anytime I'm pulling parts at the junk yard I load up on fasteners. The fasteners don't even have to come off the same vehicle your getting parts for. The dealer is one of the last places you want to shop, thats if you care about having a empty bank account. |
