Engine Bay Water Drain Hose? Options

[lsintampa]

I can't seem to locate any source for the water drain hoses (those in the engine bay on the left and right side - that attach to the funnels that collect water from the big water drip pan).

Assume they are NLA. Any aftermarket stuff or is it just old used stock?

I guess I can do my own hose connections - local hardware store route, I just thought if they were around, it may be nice to add.

One side is fine (pass), the driver side is busted up.

Any sources for decent replacements?

Thanks,

Len

Good thread, because I too need these corrugated hoses for my rain tray. I had removed them and while cleaning them with a brush one simply broke. Aged brittle plastic I assume.

But it makes me wonder why VW/Porsche used corrugated tubing in the first place. Why not smooth tubing, which seems would drain faster and collect less debris? Was it for flexibility? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The ridges are only on the outside so they have no effect on flow. It dose make the tube stiffer so it will not easily deform.
