Can I purchase a hydraulic pump for my Volkswagen Golf's electric roof separately?

I have a 1999 Volkswagen Golf IV cabriolet 2.0 and the electric roof doesn't work. This is because the hydraulic fluid has leaked out. It seems that the pipe has come off the hydraulic pump which is situated at the back seat on the left-hand side. Can I purchase this pipe and the valve separately, or does it come with the hydraulic pump?

Get yourself down to an agricultural machinery specialist and get him to fix it. They know more about electronic hydraulic mechanisms generally than anyone else.
