Rear Brake Hose

[Greg_S]

I need to replace the rear brake hoses on my s2 coupe and from readings paul's brake thread he said the RR URS6 and S2 rear calipers have the same connections.

Goodridge have the URs6 brake hoses and I want to double check that the URs6 rears are identical to the S2 rears?

Thought that one of the parts guru's would know this one....?

UrS6 hoses are 205mm long wheras the coupe ones are 250mm long.

I don't have either typr in stock to compare but IIRC they do have the same connections.

cheers ben, can you tell me what the fittings etc are and will see if can get some made up the right size

I used a TRW hydraulic hose book (your dad should have one), found the right hoses for my coupe, and then gave the measurements and fittings etc of the hoses to a motorbike shop. They then made the hoses for me.

Perfect!

I had a quick look in the goodridge catalogue and they had them listed. need to get hold of them sooner rather than later so ordered a pair of goodridge hoses the right length for £30

Ment to post this a couple of weeks back when I changed the hoses, the old ones were well and truly knackered

note the big bulges near the connector

blimey they are shot aren't they? Are the rear replacements a braided version? if so have you noticed any more positive feel through the pedal - I need to do mine too shortly so would be good to know.

Cheers

[Greg_S]

I bought a set a while ago for the Audi 100 quattro. The hoses are the same length and the full kit can be used to do the front fully or just the front from strut to caliper and the rear. Still got the rear ones on the car now as I have uprated to porsche.

The ones i ordered were ZZNW-09 for 1995 Audi S6 20V Turbo but made 285mm in length.

The company that did them got the fittings wrong on one end so had to send me adaptors.

Pedal feel is loads better now and brakes working 10 times better, before the front AP's were doing all the work pretty much and even then without full power because of the rears.
