Here's a link to the part number for you to Google and a search on line should give you the info for replacing them. Not done it mysekf but looks like the rads got to come out.

If it's a Tdi, the metal pipes can chaff through in the brackets that hold the pipes in place. I fitted two pieces of rubber pipe around the metal pipes (1 inch each) and then fastened the pipes to the bracket with a few zip-ties

If it's the low pressure pipe (return from pump) you can get away with a rubber pipe until a replacement is found.
