No doubt, all the German car speciallists in the Puget Sound area use the German braided stuff, because...well, it works. I just got back from hauling the wife n' kids in the TD up to Bellingham at supersonic speeds and the braided stuff handled the heat and duration without leaking, while

I suppose it's conceivable that you could have a restriction in the return circuit (blockage or kinked return line) which could create a pressure build-up causing those tiny lines to leak. They're push-on lines cuz usually that's a relatively low pressure circuit. Anyhoo...I live on the

Well, perhaps you'd like to come clean the gallon plus of B50 off the floor of my carport. All I know is that after only 33K miles this happened to our TDI about 6 weeks or so ago and at that time we were advised to replace the hoses, the failed and not failed, w/ Viton or silicone-based. We let
