Who makes a silicone replacement for this hose?

Its the hose before the pancake pipe on a 1.8T engine.

Samco?

Not sure if Samco, Forge etc actually do that pipe, but may as a special order. VAG revised that pipe as it was prone to popping off. Same part number as the one in your picture, but ends with C IIRC.

I'd contact Awesome gti and ask them m8

I wouldn't bother - just get a silicone version on ebay for a fraction of the price

Been looking around online but can't find any one that does that hose. Have dropped a message to Forge to see if they have something available.

I contacted Forge last year, the reply was no we dont do a replacement.

I found this post with some useful solutions http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3665036

just replace it with the same oem one it has been revised and now doesnt leak boost or pop off

why put silicone on will make no difference just cost more than the oem part!!!!!!!

There is now available a silicone hose replacement. It is is available from 034motorsport.com here;

I emailed them back in August asking if they had them and was told if I could supply a sample hose they would produce them.

It needs the older type hard metal turbo outlet pipe that uses Jubilee clips.

My complimentary hose will be here soon.

just use a standard replacement

they have updated this part and it now fits better and doesnt leak

As Clive has said really...

New spec doesn't leak at all. If it works for me, it'll work for most others!!

Well I'm getting one for free so will try it out. Just seems strange that there are silicone hoses for the other turbo pipes but not the charge to pancake pipe.

cost to much to make due to the metal end needed

This one doesn't use the metal end though but does need the older type of charge pipe. Surely a silicone hose is 'better' than a rubber one otherwise what is the point of replacing any other rubber hose?

There are only logical reasons to change pipework on a stock egine imo

1) Replace known poor quality pipe

2) Remove a restriction in OE pipework design

If the OE pipe isn't poor quality, and isn't restrictive, it doesn't need changing.

Alot of folks go to town 'cos they like lots of blue in the engine bay

I wouldn't mind betting, if Skoda/VAG had changed the colour of the pipework on their 'sports' models, they'd have made a significant increase on sales over their rivals cars with black pipework.

Those involved in the silicon pipe making games must make a mint.
