Are you saying that the VWs sold in the UK don't use the bubble flare 
that they come with here? Not sure what you mean by secure, are there 
styles of couplers that tend to come loose on their own?

I can certainly imagine having a problem with a poorly machined 
coupler that won't seal, but, for example, VW used a 2 piece line in 
all the Type 4s, putting an in-line coupler exactly where it would do 
the most good: between the front seat and the gas pedal. I wish they 
had done the same for us.
