nla drc pipe

Post by gaz pat » Fri Sep 24, 2021 6:11 pm

Evening all. I have a split drc pipe, front off side. Audi are showing no longer available, Audi Tradition have the pipe in stock but won't deliver to the uk.
So the question is does anyone know of an alternative that'll fit, maybe from a later rs4 or something, or any other suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mate
I have no idea what the pipe looks like as my car does not have drc but if you don’t know anyone in Europe that can get the pipe for you I would remove it and take it to a hydraulic hose specialist and see if they can make one for you👍 Pertek or hose doctor are couple you could try.

Have a word with “anditsoundslikebells”.
Helped me out with Audi tradition. Bought it for me and delivered to Holland.
Alex then sent it to me in the uk.
An absolute gent.
He did post on here recently asking if anyone wanted anything from Audi tradition. As he was just about to place a order.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies gents. Pirtek was my first thought, although i'd ideally like to use original parts, the problem then is getting the car to a specialist with a depressurised system. Would driving the car with no fluid in the suspension cause damage?

That's certainly possible with my driving, especially if i'm bouncing around like a ping pong ball
