OK, I got that banjo bolt off of there (PITA). I took the hose to
http://www.a1coupling.com/ and they charged me a whopping $20 to remove
the ends from my hose and re-crimp them to a new 2000psi section of
hose. That should do the trick and am grateful it was $230 CHEAPER than
a new hose from Audi. I love this list!
A pint of Hydraulic Mineral Oil from the dealership (I was in a hurry!)
was $20, same as the hose!
OK, next question... I am going out to reinstall the hose and
reassemble my engine... How do I bleed the air bubbles out of the
system? Rings a bell that I move the steering lock to lock 3 times, but
can't remember for sure...
Thanks in advance,
- Jeremy
BTW, I have a new accelerator cable on order (kick down switch is
broken. I have forgotten what it is like to have the transmission drop
a gear when I stomp on it... Should be a whole new animal again. :-)
