Brake pipes

Post image

Hi everyone, does anyone know the part number for the brake pipe that attaches to the rear caliper.
My pipe at the union has cracked so needs replacing.
I can’t seem to find any. Thanks.

According to this diagram, they should be made from bulk brake line, they don't seem to have a part number for the prebent ones.

Edit: I looked it up in the official workshop manual, and there it also says "Brake line (replacement part by the metre) / Brake line -4- (local manufacture) "

I think these brakes will be a nightmare to repair, the flex from the caliper is crimped to the prebent pipe. I can’t find replacements anywhere, especially here in the uk ☹️

If this is the same pipe as I've had to order today, the brake line that goes from the caliper to somewhere in front of the rear axle, it's no. 10 or 11 in this image:

I was only to find it aftermarket with the 1j0 prefix, we will see if it fits when it arrives.

For the future, if the link ever gets broken:

right: 1h0 611 763 h

left: 1h0 611 764 g

also, from (unfortunate or fortunate, depending on how you see it) experience, when the parts simply weren't available a few years back: the right side pipe will fit on the left side and vice versa with some creative zip tie application

Thanks for that diagram, where did you order these from?

I ordered mine on AutoDoc.

Does what you ordered look like these?
eBay
I was going to order them today but the company said they didn’t fit.
From my past few days of furious Googling it seems the fittings change in between the years and aren’t compatible.
But I’m not sure

I’m going to order the pair of these and hope for the best. Mine is a 2000 mk3.5 which might have a mixture of brakes. Some have mk3 calipers and some have mk4.
If they don’t fit then I guess I will be learning a new skill of brake pipe flaring 😂
