    Mk4 caliper conversion soft lines.

    Does anybody but ECS carry them? Not looking to pay $85 for a set of $20 lines.

    BBT carries them for ~$30us, but they don't ship to the states.

    I got mine at the JY. I believe they came off a 99 passat. They came stock with the soft lines needed to convert to banjo bolts.

    There was no 99 16v passat.. pretty sure the lines I got were actually off a 4motion passat.. if not, they were from a 20v.

    Got one sitting at the local yard, I'll go check it out. Only need them as cores to give to a buddy to make me a set in stainless.


    Thanks for the info.

    According to Rockauto, it a EARLY year Passat item.

    Correct Line to convert a Mk3
    VOLKSWAGENPASSAT(1999 - 2000)
    VOLKSWAGENPASSAT GLS1998
    VOLKSWAGENPASSAT GLX1998
    VOLKSWAGENPASSAT TDI(1996 - 1997)


    Same line style as Mk4
    VOLKSWAGENPASSAT(1999 - 2005)
    VOLKSWAGENPASSAT 4 MOTION(2003 - 2005)
    VOLKSWAGENPASSAT GLS 4 MOTION2002
    VOLKSWAGENPASSAT GLX 4 MOTION2002



    Again this all based on Rockautos interchange listings so YMMV.

    Ordered from rockauto for ~11 a side. 98 Passat 2.8 brings up the correct part. Outer line of course.

    Thanks guys.

    Glad I could help! Good to know exactly where they came from. I just wandered a VAG yard and found what I needed. Knew it was from some kind a passat.
