S60R Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Morning All! First Post - so bare with me! I have a '98 S3 7 Supersport which has an Apollo tank fitted. When recently changing the oil I noticed a tiny hole in one of the oil pipes feeding the apollo tank. I think its a result of the pipe rubbing over a very sharp corner of the engine block. Does anyone have any spare hoses up for grabs??? Think i'm going to have to get the dremel on the case to smooth out the corner when I replace the pipes!

CageyH Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Give Think Automotive a call. They will send you out a new pipe fairly quickly. Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 or take the old one to somewhere like pirtek and they'll replace the hose using your fittings. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S60R Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Cheers for your input! Ian do you know if they could change the hose for a steel braided section - help eliminate future occurances? Any idea on likely prices from Pirtek?? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Best to ask Pirtek ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S60R Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'll give the Leeds branch a call during the week to get an idea of costs! Can anyone post the specs of the pipes (inside diameter, outside diameter - any other specifications written on the pipe). I'm away with work at the moment and want to try and get something sorted out in advance. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Think auto will do you a braided hose. They know the specs too. Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
