Clutch hose

[Error404]

Can anyone help me out with a nice condition clutch hose?
3B or ABY - both should fit my application.


For reference, can anyone tell me if this is a 3B hose?



Cheers

Looks like the correct part. But having recently had problems with rubber expanding under pressure, I had a hose made up of stainless steel braided hose.

You may want to give this some thought as an option.

Yes I did look at a braided hose but it is not a simple solution as you need to use -4 hose due to the comparatively high volume of fluid movement - also the OEM fittings are M12x1 concave which is not a common fitting and so you need to use adapters to step onto the AN fittings, and clearance is tight due to the vacuum servo I am using. Long story short, as is often the case the Audi engineers came up with a nice solution.
I am erring towards buying a new OEM one

BTDT with the ABY, bought oem and didn't look back.....

Modded my ABY hose with braided. I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it would be up for the task

That's nice Pat.

I can't remember Alex. I just dropped it off at a hose place, told them what it was and they did the rest. Has a Teflon inner though.

I can find out what size it is when I'm back home next week
