I have experienced this problem numerous times where the hose becomes detached and you can still hear the pump working. I have had this repaired at a VW garage where a jubilee clip is refitted but this costs a small fortune considering the price of the clip. Can you please advise how I can access this to repair myself ?

Have the same problem... if your still curious and you haven't come across the answer, try the link: http://htdig.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=51280

I presume there's not much difference between each model anyhow so it should still apply to the mk 6 and 7. Hope it helps.
