Audi URS6 Fuel flexi hose

[GraleSi]

Hi there,
I have a 97 URS6 with a leaking fuel flexi hose shown in the pic. The solid part of the pipe is quite long and goes to the middle of the bulkhead. Does anyone know the Part number? Or have a spare they could sell me?
Many thanks

One option could be to take it off and take it to your local Pirtek (other brands are available) hydraulic specialist. They’ll be able to replace the braided section and reuse the original unions.

4A2201529C Is for RHD cars only and has been N/A since 2013. So rare is probably an understatement unless you find someone who is properly dismantling everything from one.

I had the same issue as you many years ago with my URS6 and knew a guy at Audi who did a special order from Germany. Ian is right - chances of finding one of these is almost zero and a second hand one is not guaranteed to be any good. Definitely the best option is to take it off and get it made.

Many thanks John, Isimmo and 86audicoupe

No problem, good luck and let us know how you get on

Managed to locate a replacement hose in Germany (see below). Only trouble is due to Brexit they won't deliver to the UK....... luckily I have a few good friends in Germany and France, one of whom is going to collect and ship it over to me.

I think that was a recall, for sure in the US maybe not in Europe. Most cars have that replaced with a standard section of fuel hose and clamps. Originally the dealers replaced the entire thing including the hard lines up to the rail then they just started removing the crimps on the existing braided hose to expose the standard push fit hose tail underneath it and fitted a short piece of rubber fuel line to it. If you are comfortable working with fuel serving components it’s not a difficult job to do yourself. The two braided lines that join onto the rail itself will eventually fail as well, ask me how I know :-) Don’t work on fuel lines unless you are confident in doing so, never do it with a hot engine - but even if you decide to pay a mechanic to do it they can simply cut the crimps off and fit standard hose to the tails you don’t need a replacement OEM fuel line section.
