Default que? youre saying some cars came from the factory with a kinked oil feed line?

that would result in instant turbo failure...

that line is going to need an impact to kink it... i dont see how it is a poorly made part.

Default Might as well get a fresh start with new oil lines

cleaning them would be a good idea too, but since it's all pulled apart just replace them.

+1 ,this is a misnomer/superstition imo. Many stg3' 2000 s4's are running this oem line and no prob.

Default ugh ..are you new here ?

don't think it's kinked ALL the way , but yes i've seen couple where at the bend the pipe was flattened pretty good / kinked but but not closed to flow.
yeah a lot of them are fine.. and he only needs to check the damn thing.
