I just bought this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151787958261? ... EBIDX%3AIT

It's 55mm, Ideally you want 50mm, but this works fine.

VW sell the tubing for the warm air feed in short lengths that you'll need to cut to size.

They're black and made from different material to the originals that were made from a white woven material. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if the originals had asbestos in them - this is one spec change that I'm happy with. I've taken the original off on mine and stored it away.
