Alright so what size fittings are on either end? M10x1.0 at the filter? And at the turbo?

Alright, so I have had no time to do anything with the car. Sucks.
It is a banjo bolt at the filter mount, and I'm assuming it is a flared end under that female line nut. How do I go about getting a replacement? Has anyone seen these still produced OEM?

It's a compression fitting at the turbo, not a flare. 5/16 steel ferule from McMaster will work with the stock nut/fitting.

Thank-you sir, no for the filter end.. Can i switch it up to be a normal brake line type fitting?

You can swap in one of the stock compression fittings from a spare flange/turbo, steal the compression nut from a spare line. Alternatively I have tapped a non-turbo filter flange to npt and used an npt to 5/16 compression fitting. For the tubing use 5/16 OD brake line. Easy peasy.

You can flare too if you have to tool. I've done that as well. I have a '79 rabbit that I added a vnt 15 and I used an npt to 5/16 flare fitting on the non-turbo filter flange. The npt is easier to use than the straight thread/metal washer as it will seal even if it is not perfectly perpendicular to the flange.

You the man. Thanks again. I took a quick look online and I found a line for $80, and a EGR block off kit for $35. From the same place as to save on shipping I would think this is a good route to go. Delete the EGR while I am in there eh.

I prefer to make my own but that's most often because they need to be custom anyway. $20 in parts and an hour later it's done. YMMV.

buy new line.......
the flare is a WELDED on piece of the line on my TDI feed line. its not just a simple flare. its a substantial piece of metal, quite a bit thicker than the tubing. a flare would be MUCH weaker, and i wouldnt even consider doing it..

All the stock oil supply line fittings I've seen on 1.6TD, AAZ or TDI have been compression or banjo. Flare fittings are stronger than either. Brass flare fittings are often rated to 300 psi with brass flare fittings rated from 2,000-4,000 psi. Regardless, any of those will handle the meager 150 psi of oil that is too thick and too cold.

Ah well, I ordered a stock brand new line from IDParts.com, as well as an EGR delete kit. Shoulda done that when I had the engine out though... christ. lol
