VW were cheaper for flexi brake hoses than my local trade part supplier :o, go and get the service parts from VW or Eurocarparts and you will deff get the correct parts. If they are dearer it will only be a few quid.

I just did a service on my mk2 Golf, I bought oil, oil filter and spark plugs from VW for ?37.
