PSA: check your hose!

[Hofahome]

I was about to change my spark plugs and noticed this nice issue. On the fuel hose no less. It looks like the engine vibration worked the ring down and chewed through some of the hose.

Took me a bit to see what is going on in that pic. The hose looks wrong, but it appears you pushed it aside to snap the pic. This is a b8.5 so the hose is different from the b8 that doesn't route this way.

So it looks like it's rubbing on the valve cover, poor design change from Audi.

how many miles were on the ODO when you noticed this issue?

Does anyone know the part number for this hose?

Hopefully the one with the ring to keep the hose from rubbing.

I was unable to find a diagram with these fuel lines on genuineaudiparts.com.
