German Auto Stuff - Silicone Brake Servo Hose - Audi TT Mk1 225 2001-2006

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is a brake servo hose and what does it do?
A: The brake servo hose is a vacuum line that connects the intake manifold to the brake servo (also known as a brake booster). It supplies vacuum pressure that assists you when pressing the brake pedal, making braking easier and more effective.

Q: Why should I upgrade from the original rubber hose to a silicone one?
A: Silicone hoses offer superior durability, much higher resistance to extreme temperatures, pressure fluctuations, and degradation from oil and chemicals compared to factory rubber hoses, leading to a longer service life and more consistent performance.

Q: Will this hose fit my Audi TT Mk1 180?
A: This specific silicone brake servo hose is designed for the 1999-2006 Audi TT Mk1 225 models. It may not be compatible with 180hp variants.

Q: Is this hose difficult to install?
A: While it is a direct replacement for the OEM hose, installation difficulty can vary. It's recommended to consult a service manual or a professional if you are unsure.

Q: What are the visible benefits after replacing this hose?
A: While not a cosmetic upgrade, replacing a failing or old brake servo hose ensures consistent vacuum supply, which can lead to a more reliable and responsive brake pedal feel, especially important for safety.
