Boost hoses
Boost hoses
Anyone tried Venair silicon hoses? Are the bottom hoses any longer than the OE hoses?

RE: Boost hoses
I run them, along with many others over on RS6.com . I don't recall them being any longer than OEM. I'll try to locate the OLD hoses for comparison and let you know.

Sorry for the wait, we're in the middle of a very active hurricane season:(. I checked the hoses, they're the same length as OEM.

RE: Boost hoses
Try the Wagner ones, there are slightly longer than OEM.
They solved my problem of constantly blowing off the lower hoses.

. Maybe RS5 or S5 Hatchback to come...Thanks for that snoopra. Sorry for late reply, didn't get a notification 
The Wagner ones are probably the way forward. Bit pricey though.

The bottom ones are easy to get to. Just drop the bottom tray.kaisersolsay wrote:I've not had the bottom tray off the car yet.....how easy is it to check and replace the bost hoses? Are they easy to get to...or is it a front bumper off job?
I can't remember off hand if you can access the top hoses without removing the headlights (and therefore the bumper).
I really want to say yet, but I suspect the answer might be that the headlights have to come out. It's actually not a very hard job believe it or not.

The oe pipes are over £40 each + new hose clips so the Wagner are good value .
