Hello IDI TDI friends,
When I put back together my rebuilt 1993 1.9 turbo VW the local dealer sold me a solid oil line to feed the turbo. It has a banjo fitting at the lower end and something like M12 fitting at the turbo end. Because of various mods I have introduced in this project the VW rigid oil line does not fit and I would like to replace it with a longer braided flexible line. My question to you is: is there any downside in doing this. My second question is where do you suggest I call to acquire such a flexible line (I live in Ontario).
Thanks

You could call me. I have one. It's for a mk2 though so you would need an adapter at the oil filter flange

Thanks for the reply, I am not familiar with the mk2. Could you post a picture of the oil filter flange or describe the adapter you are refering to.

Which turbo do you have ?
K03 or K14??
I have an oil line for the K03 for ya
The thread pitch and diameter are different. The mk3 is the same as a wheel lug and the mk2 one is m12x1.5
