Turbo Hose dramas

[TimM]

Hi, I blew a turbo hose on my 2001 TD4 on the weekend. TI was told that a replacement hose was $440!!!! ouch, so we ended up getting a replacement hose from QLD diesel spares for $16,,, anyway, the rubber will probably degenerate over time because of the diesel/oil reacting with it, so anyone know of a petroleum resistant 90 degree bend 55mm hose????

thanks
