Default Noticed audi oil hoses have fabric woven on the insie of them, if replaced with just hose that

would nt make a difference would it?

Im assuming the hose is just for strength and integrity when doing sharp bends ?




Need to replace the hose that connects to the F hose, shaped like a "L"- where to get?
it has some type of fabric inside it, i guess for strength

I ripped it- (dont ask how)


Could I get that L shaped hose at a dealer?

Or do I even need that fabric imbedded hose? Seems a plain black hose would work also, but I dont know about kinking it in a L..

any ideas whats the best route?

thanks guys

Default I ripped mine too

I got a non-OEM replacement for it from NAPA. A 90°-bent vacuum hose section. Didn't have fabric woven in, but has definitely worked well as a replacement.
