Clutch slave cylinder hose

[Dec 1]

Found a nice bulge in mine when I went to bleed the circuit yesterday. This one:

 

 

part no. 357721465A

 

According to Vagcat it's a common corrado part for all years + engines, but I cant seem to find anywhere that sells them! :shrug:

 

The dealers is a bit of trek away and a pain in the butt to deal with when there, so would prefer not to have to make the trip a couple of times for the sake of a small hose! So, anyone know of anywhere else that they can be got?

 

Or anyone have one in good nick available on a breaker etc? :wink:

VAG only really unless you get your current one copied... you will need all the seals etc to go with it...

 

Best to maybe give GPC a call and get them to send it over

i need one of these too..

I would be wary of one of these off a breaker - the rubber is perishable and all second-hand parts will be roughly the same age (>12 years), so you shouldn't really expect much additional life from a second-hand part...

 

Seems as though several of these have failed recently from the rubber becoming weakened/porous (including my old hose).

 

Will try to find the receipt from the VAG replacement I got back in Feb, to give an idea of current dealer price - VAGCAT is showing 32 Euros (24 quid?).

BUMP.

 

8 years later, did anyone manage to find a brake hose from another car that fits?

 

Mine has a bulge in it, and dread to think what TPS want if its not obsolete.

I might take you up on this if I can't get one sorted. Surely there must be a part on the shelf that fits, or even a braided version?

would this work?

And why not? Is it ok for a fluid brake? It's probably that works ok!

maybe as long as it has the right threaded fittings at either end your good to go.

Yep that'll work. Pretty sure the Mk2 G60 will use same lines as Corrado.

 

I'll get one of them next week and let you know :thumbleft:

 

Edit/Emailed them to check first haha.
