Good point! The shop only services Volkswagen and Audi, so I would assume so, but I sure will ask.SlowLane wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 1:34 pmYou might want to ask your mechanic if he is using the correct metric 7.3 mm fuel-injection rated hose rather than 5/16" hose more commonly available in the USA. It might not seem like much of a difference (5/16" equals 7.9 mm), but the metric hose is definitely the preferred fit for these vehicles. Personally I have had problems getting 5/16" hose to seal leak-free, but have no such issues with the metric hose.
