Audi A3 1.9TDI - Where to buy turbo vacuum lines for a VAG TDI? - cws

Just about to replace (again!) all the vac lines on my A3 1.9TDI. I previously replaced them using braided, rubber fuel return line (was told this would be fine) - but it's rubbish! After 6 months the ends on some of the hoses are perishing/cracking already...

I don't want to get ripped of by the dealer, so anyone know where I can get decent vac line by the metre? Do GSF or Euro Car Parts stock it?

The Subaru and Cosworth owners tend to use Samco silicone hoses for vac lines, inlet hoses etc. Lots of places stock the stuff, like Demon Tweeks etc.
