That will depend on if they are original hoses or more recent replacements. The hoses and o-rings on my 70's motorcycles didn't react well to ethanol.
It is shocking to look at a Dasher and a current model year Passat and realize the Dasher was the first generation Passat. The current one is just HUGE in comparison. Of course the same thing has happened with the Honda Accord.
The oldest VW I've owned was an 86 Jetta I bought in 2005 for $500. The was the last of my series of free - $1000 cars.
