- Description:
2013-2016. Convertible, 2.0L. Listed under Audi part number 8K0-145-738-M, this Lower Press Hose carries fluid or air between components, where material specification matters because the line has to resist the pressure, temperature, and chemistry of what flows through it. Ordering genuine avoids the fit and durability compromises that come with aftermarket substitutes. Confirm fitment against your vehicle identification number before ordering.

Key Product Information
Additional Information
| SYMPTOMS | Symptoms associated with a failing hose (8K0-145-738-M): visible leaks or damp residue at connections, swelling, hardening, or cracking of the line, a drop in system pressure, or a hiss or drip that appears when the system is under load. Addressing the issue early usually keeps the repair contained to this component. |
| TROUBLESHOOTING | A practical check before condemning 8K0-145-738-M: check the line at bends and clamp faces where cracks hide, and pressure test the circuit rather than relying on a visual inspection alone. Record any stored fault codes before clearing them. |
| INSTALLATION | Replacing 8K0-145-738-M requires the correct routing away from heat and moving parts, fully seated quick connect fittings, and clamps positioned at the factory locations. Compare the replacement against the original component before final assembly. |
| MAINTENANCE | Preventive maintenance around 8K0-145-738-M is inspection based, squeezing hoses at service to check for hardening or sponginess that signals internal degradation. Consistent service intervals matter more than mileage alone on this system. |
| GENERAL_NOTES | Key consideration for 8K0-145-738-M: quick connect fittings need the correct release tool, and a fitting that has been pried at is likely to leak once reassembled. This is a genuine Audi part supplied through the factory parts network. |
| REPLACEMENTS | Items typically renewed with this hose (8K0-145-738-M): clamps, O-rings, and quick connect retaining clips are replaced with the line, and the system fluid is topped up or replaced as required. Check the repair manual for the full list of single use fasteners for this procedure. |
