Audi Cabriolet Brake Hoses

Flash Harry · 12-03-19, 03:12 PM

Before I start pulling the brakes off for their upgrade, can anyone tell me the lengths of the front and rear Brake hoses please?

Want to change them to steel braided and would save some time if I know the approx. lengths to get.

Cheers!

Get some HEL ones. Excellent quality and they will have the size already. If you ring them up and say what you want and mention the forum, they will normally give a discount over the web prices.

I'm guessing you have the 2 hose setup with a short pipe around the strut ?

Short hose to the caliper is 160mm and the long one from strut to wheel arch is 285mm

forgot the rears

You have 160mm x2 plus a 200mm on one side and a 150mm on the other

Again, you have steel pipe in-between the 2 hoses on both sides
