Checking brake hoses (Audi A8 D2)

Brake pipes and hoses are used to transfer brake fluid from the master brake cylinder to the wheel brake cylinders.

Brake hoses provide movable connections between the moving and fixed parts of the vehicle.

When bending the brake hose, check for hidden cracks, which are not always visible visually.

When installing a new brake pipe or hose, make sure it is securely fastened in the brackets and is kept away from moving or hot parts.
