[s-cars] J hose repair

[Nathan Belo]

Steve,

Pentosin is expensive & it's a pita to clean & gets everywhere &  
you'll mark your parking spot like a dog.

I had Nebar Supply Co. www.nebaronline.com in Seattle rebuild it for  
around $70 vs $249+ for new. Dropped it off in morning & picked it up  
in the afternoon. Talk to Bruce Huson.   There is a noise restrictor  
they have to re-use in the line, remind them just in case. Mine was  
the first one they did & they just called Spokane House of Hose & they  
told them how to do it. No shipping to pay & local same day service.

5-15 minutes for you to r&r hose using basic hand tools in the driveway.

BTW-
I rode my Ducati Monster 1000S to the  Matt Ammon Memorial Audi Club  
NW DE day & pointed out that your bumper grill was falling off.

Hi S-Heads:

My 95.5 (120k mi) S6 is starting to experience a leak from the 'J  
hose' on
the high pressure hydraulic circuit.  My question is this:  is this an
urgent repair, or can I watch it and take care of it in the next few  
months?
Is the failure mode a catastrophic leak?

Thanks,

Steve V
