Hello Image

4B3317815B is the longer pipe that goes over the top of the oil cooler. They are still available at Audi Tradition and depending on where you are in the world, some Audi dealers will order from tradition for you. But at 348euros each plus postage, they are not cheap. Raphael over at RSCarparts has a cheaper option of good quality here >>> https://www.rscarparts.de/oeldruckleitu ... b-neu.html

I just noticed that your subject line says gearbox cooling. 4B3317815B is for engine oil cooling.
Do you have the right part number??

Echo Topmans response.
Audi Tradition and rs carparts hartsmanndorf supplied me with 8 new hoses/pipes.
Both companies in Germany.

Thank you guys, that's exactly the one I need #Topman

Looks like I'll have order them from abroad. Does nobody make them locally if I take the pipe to them.

Get in touch with deutscheparts in the uk.
Tell them the company in Germany that has the part and the part no.
They will get it for you.
Ok it costs a bit more but they take out all the faff.
They regularly buy parts from Audi Tradition for the uk.
You end up with a genuine part.

To get OE pipes, Steve's approach is decent. However, I've made loads and loads of custom pipes for many vehicles & engines - if you are DIY minded, you could certainly make your own up, or I'd have no issue using the rscarparts.de part.
