My full assembly for the injector return pipes were brand new last year, and have all got evidence of leaks and one or two are split. So I'm guessing they need replacing sooner than later.

Do I have to get the braided rubber stuff, because I have a big length of turbo boost silicon pipe that is the right inside diameter, it seemed it may last longer than the stupid rubber.

Give it a go and see. But maybe order some braded hose to be on the safe side its dirt cheap. Those pipes take alot of pressure.

I've used similar stuff to that blue tube in the picture with no problems.

Stopped being lazy and went the 1/2 mile to the car spares place, and got the proper stuff. Says "made in Germany" on the side and is a tighter fit than the old pipes were new, seems to have sorted it. Really sick of replacing the new stuff I bought last year with better new stuff, but then you learn what to avoid second time round. Cheers.
