1m of vac hose from Driftbridge VW was only £4.
Big rubber cam cover pipe £15 inc vat from VW (last month)
Crank case breather pipe £16+Vat from VW (last month)

Hardly worth the trip to the scrappy at those prices
Small vac hose on the TB can be replaced with 4mm PE pnuematic hose available from good tool shops comes in various colours too :wink:
