OEM rubber?
I've read that modern replacements are made from synthentic material with no flex or give and very difficult to fit. Anyone have experience of fitting these or where I can get a OEM spec rubber one???
Cheers

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

You could always try warming it up a bit with a heat gun to get some flex in it.

If anything, the ones you can get today are probably better than OEM.

The link from tnotty is BandB who say its obsolete.
Easy to source internal diameter 40mm hose is EPDM radiator hose but thats not petrol proof…. the rest of the automotive world use narrow 6mm-@20mm fuel proof pipe nothing like 40mm
the boating world use 1.5 and 2 inch fuel pipes which has been converted to metric 38mm and 50mm, so I suspect everyone that can supply 40mm VW filler neck to tank rubber hoses are infact supplying 38mm which is why everyone comments its a complete twot to fit, esp getting it over the hump in the necks

Looks like the one I've bought, should have been with me Fri/Sat, still waiting and suspect its really a marine fuel 38mm one. Thanks anyway
