DRC replacement pipes

Post by Hobbsy26 » Sun Mar 05, 2023 10:00 am

Morning,

Hoping someone can help…

Two of the hydraulic pipes on my DRC system have split and the garage are recommending I replace all of them. These parts are now obsolete, apparently. Does anyone know a place that might sell them? I don’t trust eBay so avoiding buying parts from there.

Thanks,

Adam

Find somewhere that does hydraulics for JCBs and diggers. Get them to make some pipes up for you.

I just put hydraulic into yellow pages and it came up with loads of places. One chosen at random:

Alternatively they are all available on Audi Tradition.

I agree with Shoppinit's first suggestion. Find someone to make a custom set out of Stainless tubing, it will never corrode through, outlast an OEM set. Basically Audi just used Brake line piping and I know they make it out of Stainless Steel.
