It's a return pipe not a feed, feed is the high pressure metal pipe at the top, maybe mike thought you meant the feed not the return? CGB should have them, dare I say ktec(probably only samco sfs ones) or try renault for oe?

The oe ones are much better than the silicone aftermarket ones. Iirc they come in several sizes so have a measure up.

The Samco ones are on ebay for £17 but from memory they aren't oil resistant, when I looked into stocking them there was two options.

Hi Mike,
How much are the OE ones?
I'll check what size this one i have is (although it could have been the wrong one put on)
I thought you said the OE ones weren't oil resistant? so asked on here..

Thanks

OE ones are oil resistant - they have that light coloured inner lining. For a silicone to be oil resistant it needs to be fluorolined.

Cheers Scoff,
I'm going to order one from Mike, just need to check the size of the one i have under my T2.
Hoping its the pipe and not the seal on the Turbo :(

From memory the samco ones never fitted that great, I then started using a reducing elbow from sfs which was lined for the use with oil and cheaper, only draw back is you had to measure the ends and cut it down a bit.

Ive got to take the turbo off to get the union fitted anyway so will try get it all measured & fitted before i put it back on..
Not fussed about samco underneath, just trying eliminating all the little oil drips on my drive.

I noticed a slit in the pipe where the jubilee clip is, about 5mm from the top of the pipe,
Also, who ever did the bolt up that this pipe is attached to, couldn't have sealed it as oil was dripping out, took it out, cleaned with wire brush, and used loctite.
Shall i just get a new pipe or cut 5 mm off this one?
Its a samco with a coated/lining on the inside.
