Vacuum hose oetiker / ear clamps

[Goldie.88]

Hey team,

I've gone into the depths of the vacuum and ventilation "circuits" of my 2004 Passat 1.8t AWT. This has meant removing a bunch of the single use clamps which look like they've been in use through to 2016 across many models (for instance N 90739901).

Has anybody found a good source besides main dealer for these clamps? Pirtek and others seem to have a good range but not the exact size spec VW used, so not sure whether they're the right option.

Thanks for any tips!

I checked out Wurth but they didn't have a range of sizes. Pirtek got there in the end, but they had issues getting the part numbers from their webstore (link) with the part numbers that the local franchisers could understand. All fixed now!
