Stainless braided brake hoses for 2001 allroad 2.5tdi with HP2 front calipers

[skyegtb]

Can anyone tell me a source for a set of these please? A number of companies list a set for the same year A6 2.5tdi quattro, would they fit? I'm guessing the allroad ones might be slightly longer? Has anyone fitted a set? What ones do you recommend?
Thanks in advance, Angus

They wont fit mate as the a6 quattro has different front brakes. Your model can have the old calipers with 4 pads per side setup (as fitted to the b5 s4) or it can have the twin pad setup per side as the later models. You can try the late b6 s4 brake hoses as i've just noted in the tittle that yours are HP2 calipers. Rears you can use standard quattro braided hoses...

Just thought I would add some info to this. According to ETKA the part number and sizes of the 2001 allroad brake hoses are as follows:

Front flexi hose: 4Z7 611 707 A M10X1X335MM
Rear flexi hose: 4Z7 611 775 A M10X1X350MM

They do not match up with any other listed Audi brake hoses I searched for and are pretty much unique in length compared to all other Audi's I looked at. The M10X1 fitting is common across all the cars, but hose lengths are much longer on the allroad. There are plenty of companies that would make up custom hoses at these lengths however the only manufacturer I found that make a set specifically for the allroad is 'Stop-tech' in the USA.
