I have cautioned many times about trying to use that worthless  
catalog.  The FAQ or search engine on Quattroworld. com  UrS4/UrS6/S2/ 
RS2 forum may get you by without having to get the whole Audi parts  
catalog.  Then you can enter the part # on the web site.

Your failure is the well known brake pressure hose shaped like a  
"J".   Since the pump services two systems, I changed the subject line.

Spokane Hose is the place to get this repaired.  I know, it's not  
close to Houston, but it is still the place to go.  They will do the  
job right.

If you can't wait, I have a repaired hose sitting here in the office.   
I had my repaired hose sent to John Paine and he had his repaired at  
HOH to replace mine.  I looks like they did the usual fine job.  I can  
send it to you and then when you take yours off, you send it to HOH to  
be repaired and sent to me to replace mine.  If interested, let me know.

You sure you didn't use my "J" hose a couple of years ago?  Somebody  
in Texas did, but I have swapped it all over NA since then.  If it  
was, you should check the swivels that HOH installs.  They may have  
come loose, but I have never seen one of their hoses leak.
