I've moved this over from an enquiry I made to Tom @CreweAudi on his group buy thread, as it seems worthy of a topic in its own right.
While my tandem pump currently seems to be in good health, as far as I know it's the original so it's over 18 years old. A quick read of the various threads on the aftermath of a diesel leak from the tandem pump and especially the effects it has on all of the rubber pipes below it, makes me think it would be well worth compiling a list of the hoses, seals and other fittings (complete with part numbers) that get written off by the leaking diesel, to speed up the repair job for those unfortunate enough to need it. If Tom could supply the parts as a 'kit', that would make life easier still.
7zap is confusing (to me, anyway ? ) as it splits the hose network across several pages and it doesn't make it easy to work out what-connects-to-what. The pages seem to vary quite a lot from year to year as well. I need to go and have a look at my car to get a better idea of what's needed.
So far, I've got (for an earlier model 1.4TDi AMF, I think):
038 121 132 C Housing for temperature sender. Does this come with all the necessary seals/gaskets?
8Z0 121 101 T & 8Z2 121 058 (The hoses that fit on either end of the above housing?)
6N0 121 086 D A pair of hoses that are bound together by a wrap. I think later cars use a later letter-code version of the same thing
8Z0 212 109 G Hose
N 90765301 32mm x 4mm O ring
8Z2 121 107 A Hose. I've seen this one mentioned in threads on leaking pumps, but must admit I can't find it in the parts diagrams. Is it for later cars only?
Please pitch in if you've bought the required hoses in the past! This thread has some useful information and photos. Many thanks to @<tuffty/> :

My A2 'blog'...
