Noticed that my coolant pipes aren't looking too clever. Only under the bracket. Rest looks remarkably good. Is there anything really against cutting out the sections and putting rubber lines in? Don't suppose anyone has the diameters to hand?

Hi I have just done mine I can send you photos they are on here but I will repost them and if you need to speak to me pm me and I can send you my number if that helps you out thanks Steve

Photos jobs a good one lol

That is excellent mate. Why did you remove such big sections though? On mine anyway it's litterally about 3 inches of each pipe needing replaced. So wasn't even going to bother giving Audi the parts money. Was just going to cut and replace the rotten part with rubber hose.

What diameter did you need to join the pipes? It's about £200 for the pipes isn't it?

Oh and what did you need to remove for access? One pipe is fairly easy to replace I gather?

Trade is £171 and £41 plus vat

Thanks. What diameter of rubber hose did you use for them? I take it the £171 is the longer one that you cut?

Yeah and cut it by where it go’ Under steering rack I have the rubber pipe I used in my other shed I will go and the size pipe I used to connect the two pipes together

Excellent mate. Appreciate that. Just so I can order the house now before I poke a hole in it.

Inner 16mm

Are you going to the Audi drivers international tomorrow if so I can brin you the length I have save you buying any mate

Perfect mate. 16mm inner for both. That's very kind of you. Unfortunately I'm working tomorrow all day. I didn't even know there was an event on if I'm honest. New to the whole VAG scene. Most of the stuff I've bought in the past is too obscure for any kind of meet to be organised.

My first meet too I have always had fast ish cars this is my second rs6 I have had c5 and c6 if I can help in anyway private message me with your number or I can text you mine what part of uk are you

Hi mate if you was local I would of help you do it but your a little bit to far for me lol
