[urq] WX/KH Turbo oil feed hose

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Hi there,

Sometimes, I hate myself...

First, I have that tick-tick exhaust sound, so I decide to re-torque cyl
#1 and #5 bolts, because they are the only one reachable without
removing the intake manifold or the airbox. To reach it, I had to remove
the valve cover, which I already planned to replace its gasket. Two job
in one, fast and no problem.

Then, when I look at the #1 IM bolts, there was one missing from the
IM... musta forgot it when I did the head job 2 years ago... I have some
in the bolt bin, the correct socket-head M8x65 that goes there. But the
oil pipe is in the way, so I probably broke it when I pushed the bolt in
the IM. The car started fine, idle was high so there was an air leak at
the IM/head interface, so just the time to grab the duty-cycle meter and
the horror struck me, in the form of a huge oil puddle... Oh well.


Now, a few questions:

Anyone knows the price of this OEM part, (035 145 771B)? 

Anyone has an old one lying around ? It is the same one as the KH
engine, 84-88 5KT non-q.

Is there a way of creating one from standard parts from a good hose
shop?

Can I run the engine without it ?  (it's a joke... :-))


Wish me good luck, I am heading out to remove it from the car. Maybe
after removing the airbox I will be able to re-torque the other EM
bolts...
