So I think I finally figured out my mysterious pentosin disappearance over the past couple months. Finally started poking around and there is a hard line going from the top of the PS pump down to the bomb - the line is partially insulated/covered with foam. The foam is absolutely soaked in pentosin so I'm assuming there is an internal leak/break somewhere. Anyone got a part number for this line? I'm assuming this isn't the infamous J-hose that is NLA and needs to be rebuilt..is it? Thanks in advance!!!

I thought that was the j-hose? either way, it can be rebuilt for much cheaper than a new one.

I am about to replace the other hose on my car -- the one that goes to the rack. That one was &lt;$200 from Audi.

Niice! Does the bomb need to be bled when taking the j-hose off?

no, you will lose a bit of fluid. Just top of the resevoir.
