Hi Everyone - long time since I last posted (apologies)...also apologies for posting this in the wrong section on first try!

Wondering if you knowledgable people know what material people use to make their own turbo oil feed pipe?

Referring to the one that bolts on to the side of the turbo - mine is currently covered in metal braid. Can find replacement for 100 quid but seen that they can be made. Not sure what material though as silicon wont take the heat/oil and metal wouldnt flex enough (would it)?

Thanks in advance!

Considering its use, location and consequences I'd be very tempted to stump up. Or see if anything else fits (19j, 300tdi)

Thanks Discokids - will keep that in mind as a back up!

I know they can be made but just dont now what material! 100quid for a short run of pipe seems excessive!

If its the return pipe I would have thought any hight temp hose would be just fine, quite a few trucks run this very set up, but they do have an initial steel pipe approx 8 inches long.
For feed pipe Im sure any hydraulic place could fit a flex pipe to your existing ends after all hydraulic oil gets very hot.

Good point by discokid
19j oil feed ETC7207 and ERR3495
200tdi oil feed ERR333 up to Jan 93, ERR3495 Jan 93 onwards
Is this the one?

Thanks all! Will take a look to see if the 19J one would work.

Will look in to the two other pipe suggestions above.

Thanks

LRSeries? I've often looked there because they often put a picture of the actual item you're looking at.

Thats the return pipe so basically cut off the flex section, get some decent silicone hose two jubilee clips and done.
