Need new hoses for (out of warranty) my C TT . Hoping that the dealer will help with part of the cost for replacement. I can't find the detailed info on this TSB. Thanks ahead.

Sorry no TSB as stated above just a part improvement. All the plastic hoses are replaced with aluminium ones.

It's a big and costly job. I just had it done along with the water pump and thermostat housing. Cost just shy of $6K (AUD).

Dealer just said bad luck, you pay.

Sorry for the bad news.

I had every hose replaced plus the water pump and other stuff. Parts alone were almost $2K. It doesn't help that the dealer here is a A**hole who charges labout at $265 per hour and 100% markup on parts :-( plus we only have one dealer in this state, and only one other independent as competition. The next nearest dealer is over 3500 km away!

If you can do it yourself you'll definately save money but if one hose has cracked, you might like to replace as many as you can while you've got the car apart.
