I cracked the #1 line on my MTDI. Anyone have one? (or a set?)

me been looking since june 2011 for a reasonable set... good luck with your search... theman just got a set for his future project... i have them at the moment.. going to borrow for my road trip west for backups.. i tig welded my "bad one" and workes so far.. just no trust in it... 6-7k road trip.. me borrowing set for side of road misshap..
when i get back to ohio ill drop them back off to him.. meeting up with him on way to cali to drop off his collection of parts i have for him.. he went in with a deal for 02a/lines injector stuff.. he plans to build a tdi-m from a aaz block.. he got head, and those parts now.. ome pistons and such.. he will have his parts supply..
Yeah and before that I found a set on the tex but IIRC he wanted 75.00 plus shipping. If I can I will dig it up from my PM's there and see if it is still active.
http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5700265-FS-Parting-out-AHU-engineThat is the thread and according to the posts when he quit bumping it, they may still be up for grabs. I just was trying to get them for nothing and seeing how I didn't need them I was OK to let them go. On CRSMP5 situation I would have bought them. I wonder now that he has had them for 6 more months if he would take my old offer of 55.00 shipped...either way I bet he would for sure go 75.00 shipped. Which sadly is less than 1 from the dealer.
I got one !! Free for the asking from a local vw grease monkey, Thank you Richard!
In my search I found new complete sets for $28. on a Prothe site. Must be Chinese but may be good for emergency spares.

The ones on Prothe site are not for the 1z/ahu...unless he got them in the last month. He never had them before, not that I would trust them if he did.
They were not there when I looked a month ago. Good luck for those that use them, for that price I may have even thought about them.
I'd be worried about substandard metal erroding from the fuel pulses and messing up the injectors. Even the OEM lines have a hard time holding up.
