    At vw-resource.com he recommends replacing it every 5 years.

    It's always a good precaution to replace all four sections of
    rubber line about every five years.

    John Connolly (Aircooled.Net) advises-

    I strongly recommend cloth braided fuel hose. Every 6 months, you
    should inspect it! Bend it over 180 degrees, and if it cracks or is
    stiff, REPLACE IT. Leaking fuel hose is the #1 cause of those
    smoldering VWs you see on the side of the road. Don't be a statistic!

    Yes. Change it often even if the car is sitting and not driven.
