I need a new upper radiator hose for my '99. I'm not interested in paying $208 for one. Does anyone have one they could sell/ship to me or is anyone able to pull one at a yard for me? Here is a list of places that have pre-facelift A8s
Row 52 Search

The most recently placed cars are at the top of the list so probably a better chance at those yards. I would also be interested in headlights if they are in good condition.

Depending on what exactly is wrong with it, it may be able to be repaired. I repaired a broken off small outlet stub with a brass 3/8" barbed fitting. It's been good for 2 years so far.

Dr. A8

That is the exact reason I want a new hose. My little outlet broke off and I repaired it but I want to be able to trust the car with a longer drive if necessary. What did you use to seal the pipe in? I used water pump specific RTV.

I have one i replaced on my '98 tracking down a leak. Turned out to be a cracked right radiator tank at the top right next to the inlet pipe, hose is in great condition, PM me if your still looking.

I used Permatex #2.

If it's the same as the upper radiator hose on a 90 V8, I have a new one never used.

Dr. A8

I already have a nice used one on the way but thank you. I'm not sure if they're the same or not.

Dr. A8

Thank you 90SQ. The hose you sent is working great and I also was able to find and fix a leak on the back of the engine. Driving it daily now and it is doing great.
