[A8] A8 Digest, Vol 21, Issue 7

[Britt Crowell]

I changed mine out last year. I know the local Audi dealer and he usually 
hooks me up, so I got original hoses.
I ended up taking off the intake manifold to make it easier to get to them. 
And replaced all the orings on my injectors too.
Here is the link to my photos.

> I finally have some time to devote to my 99 A8. I bought two oil filters

> (ha,who could be so lucky?). I looked in my parts bin/garbage bin and 
> found a similar shaped hose, in excellent rubbery shape, from my 76' 280C 
> emissions crap that I took out. I cut it and after much PITA slapped it

> I ordered the manual but it is backorderd from Bentley's.
