I've had that problem with finding parts at short notice for my 360 over here. "Sorry that part is obsolete, come back when you've got an XC90"........... or words to that effect.
I've resorted to taking hoses from cars in scrapyards, and cutting them to fit.
I'm not much help, but im sure someone here will be able to help.

To be honest i highly doubt you will be able to get a new one unless you can find one on E bay or similar.

I had the same pipe go on mine last year, rang every supplier i knew, big or small and tried Volvo with no luck.

In the end Euro Car parts came up with the goods,they rang all their branches and had one in Wembley, but it was the only one they had and said they wouldn't be getting anymore as they are unobtanium

Looks like scrapyards are your best bet.

If all else fails you could make the part out of silicone hose pieces since you can buy different lengths and angles to attach to each other, may not be that expensive either since it would only be a single hose, plus it would look PIMP!!!!

Try www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk they sell it.
