Default Headlamp washer tubing...

After doing a repair to the offside headlamp squirty connector (just behind the fog lamp grill) last winter, it has survived fine. However, the convoluted tubing seems to be splitting/fracturing easily. Apart from getting the whole tubing part from Audi, has anyone seen any decent fixes for this?
Thanks

Is the tubing just outer protection? If so, could it be replaced with this? I normally use this for wire protection.

Just to add that there is a split version for easier installation.
