Wanted: Hydraulic hose

[defcon]

I'm in need of the hydraulic hose connecting the pump (connector on the top) to the bomb. Are these the same on both RHD and LHD?

I hope you forgive me for hijacking this wanted thread but it's related, need to change this hose too and is wondering if someone has the measurements of it and fitting sizes so I can make one up?

Cheers!

If you go to someone that has crimping tools for hydraulic hoses in machines used for building premises you'll be fine. They have also hoses for that and banjo joints .

If you do such a thing you could/would end up with horrible winning noises

Oh, is there a "vibration dampener" inside the hose?

[defcon]

Here are both the ends, approx 52cm long (not including metal piping)

The wining noise is from a faulty pump .

No its not always a faulty pump. Been there, had a high pressure hose made, had all the whining noise and once the hose was replaced it all went.

In actual fact my hose was the one coming from the rack to the pump. But looking at the way all hydraulic hoses are made I will bet it will whine.

So what's the difference with audi own hoses?
They must have some sound dampening then?

[Avantus]

There is a pulse damper inside yes.

Well surely these dampened hoses must be available on the aftermarket?
Anyone know the technical term for them?

There is and we also tried using one of them inside the aftermarket power Steering hose we made and made absolutely no difference.

Comes from experience guys. Been there done that so now I have a couple of used spare audi hoses that work.

Perhaps the solution would be to make a rubber hose with the added dampening in it and hope it works

Well ill be damned. Makes me wonder what kind of magic Audi has put in them hoses.

This hose I have successful rebuilt 2 years back, I used normal hydraulic hose there is a restrictor located in the hose where the metal collar is a 3rd of the way down the hose.

Just carefully remove the ends and restrictor and fit them to the new hose

One thing you need to remember is mark the orientation of the ends, otherwise you will not be able to twist the hose to fit if its to far out
