[s-cars] 95 S6 Fuel lines

[mtgadbois at aol.com]

Peter,
 
FWIW my 95.5 did the same.  What was leaking were the connectors.  As I recall to do the repair correctly using new Audi parts required the replacement of the fuel rail.  With the fuel rail at $300-$400 I, in turn, just cut out the offending connectors, put in a piece of high pressure rubber fuel line (about $6 per foot) and  double clamped each end.  That was 3 years ago.  So far so good.

Listers,

My wife's 95 S6 has an odor of fuel around the two flexible lines running to
the Fuel rail and return.  It appears that the recall has been done on the
line near the Turbo/Fuel filter fortunately. :-)

Each of these lines appears to include some nice complex piping on fuel rail
side of things and they appear to be dealer only.  Will get pricing tomorrow
but I expect it to be big $$$ for both lines.  Any other known sources for
these items?

  Any BTDT on fabricating replacement lines?  I was thinking on having the
commercial hose shop weld fittings onto the ends of the existing piping and
fabricating a couple of hoses to match.  This approach has worked well for
my Type 44 hydraulics and A/C lines (for R134A).

Regards
