How much hose do I need to buy for PTFE oil feed?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering how much hose I will need to buy to get it from the front of the engine, oil pressure switch to the back of the engine where the turbo is. Probably running around above the gearbox.

Don't want loads too much, but want it to be long enough! lol

Erm, why not run a peice of wire around your chosen route and measure it? LOL! :-)

I ran mine to the right off the filter housing, under the coilpack, bolted to the harness bracket with a P clip and then onto the Turbo. I'd say it's about 1.5m.

Do you have experience with assembling 200 series PTFE lines and fittings? If not, I would buy a little extra anyway to factor in mistakes :-)

Oh and sleeve the braided line because it will rub through any wires it touches in no time.

Ah, that makes sense then. I assumed you were getting the bits and making the line up yourself :-)

What material are the fittings they're using? I would swerve ENS (electro plated Nickel steel) as it rusts, but it's cheaper than stainless, which is imo the best material to use on such a critical component.

Couldn't resist and only kidding. Can you post up the results when you get it done as i'm curious to see?

i think it's great that people have got a good sense of humour. made me smile when i read it lol suppose a lot of people do take things the wrong way.
