Forum member Anders uses 1/8" fuel line. Likely the easiest to procure at your FLAPS.

Original was the braided type. If that's what you have, and it's leaking only at the ends where it connects to the injector nipples, you can often get some more time out of them by cutting the (stretched-out) ends off and refitting them. That braided hose is durable and widely available at Bosch service centers, or from VW parts websites.

An interesting replacement is ether-based polyurethane clear fuel hose (found in motorcycle shops, and trucking equipment shops). Very good, without the braiding reinforcement. That's ether-based, NOT the ester-based version. Since it's clear it can help with troubleshooting.

Again, 1/8" or its metric equivalent.
