A4 Tranny Lines

What's my best option for replacing my tranny coolant hard lines?
Any suggestions?
Should I get stock replacement pre-bent hard lines from the dealership, some kind of braided line from O'Reilly's, what do I want?

Why do you want to replace them? Are you putting a cooler in? If so I used the stock lines and the hose that came with it. Just some hose clamps and done.

Re: A4 Tranny Lines

I used some metal brake tubing, it worked really well. The reason I hard lined plummed it was because I had a kink in the hose they supplied. I bent it with a pipe bender that I bought from advance auto. The ONLY way I could bend it tight around the radiator was to put sand in the pipe (about 2 inchs from top so it would have space to move when I bent it) and a small propane torch. Heated it, bent it, and flushed it VERY well. Like I say.........worked well for me.


P.S. It looks alot better too.
