Default Help! My 2000 S4 doesn't have an F-hose??!! Pic included

<center><img src="http://eecswebdev.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/projects/bedsolcb/S4%20F-Hose%20002.jpg"></center><p>I just went to go change my stock f-hose out for a Samco, but I either can't find it or it doesn't exist. I sure as hell hope I'm just a complete idiot and can't find it, because otherwise something is seriously wrong. I bought the car only 3 months ago.

Default There were no tiptronic S4s in Europe so they had to design the tip engine for the US 2000 MY.

(and also for the allroad and A6 2.7T tiptronics) Since the vaccuum config is different on the tops, they did it "right" from the start on those.

The six-speed was revised later on (01.5).

You just wasted good money on a part you don't need. Now you need to sell it off. 8^)
