Fuel line quick connectors

I have been meaning to change my kombi fuel filter.
So I needed new filter and tool to insert into the quick connectors to remove them.

I wanted to replace the connectors locking mechanism as you are supposed to. BUT I could not find any original vw version.

So after a lot of searching I thought that Dorman in the USA where the ones used. I ordered them from the states and they arrived. 

How wrong could I be!

So changed the filter and reused. No leaks.

Now the search continues to find original ones.
Any ideas where or what part number they are?
