Haha, so I am being told that this is the stock lines?

Idk it freaked me out cause every VW/Audi I have ever seen/owned has had black hardlines coming from the ABS module...

haha, well, i dont know **** about s4's...it doesnt look stock, but it looks too 'good' to be hood, haha.

ive tried to avoid abs in my driving career, so far 2 for 4 haha, but most ive seen have been straight hard lines all the way, like you said. id be skeptical about that too, but if its stock, i guess its not so bad, haha.​

be like it is
the silver retaining plate attached to the firewall is a giveaway that rubber lines go into it...

plus its vw product, so dont use regular logic :lawl: whats weird is that the main line and return line seem to be rubbing freely on the one "wheel" line :eh:

but, yeah, if you remember the accord's fuel line under the hood, it was a hard line from the fuel rail "back," where it became a rubber line with one of those compression fittings making the connection.

miracles :lawl:

i'm guessing the stainless is acting like the flex pipe on your exhaust...it will flex, but only to a certain point without cracking/rupturing (like if you needed to lift the pump to access something in its vicinity).

or abrasion resistance if there's a hood brace that sits right between the washer fluid and coolant reservoirs? :thinking:
