Default The hose covering the air-suspension wire

Hi

Is it possible to replace these? I am unable to find the product number.
If the original is either unobtainable or absurdly expensive I am even okay with something sort-of-sleek an electrician would use.
I can't look at this.

one is pretty much gone

the other one is waving good-bye

If I look at your second picture and compare it with my car, I would say that it is not waving good-bye, but that it looks exactly like it left the factory...

At the bottom of the picture you can see how the older version of the pre-facelift versions looks like:

The picture was taken when I did some cleaning works on the engine.

Best regards,

Thomas

It appears that the hose #1 has its end still latching to the strut, while the more complete hose #2 is exposing the wires near the connector.
But maybe you're right, I'll lean into the engine bay tomorrow to take a better look.

Hi,
My car looked the same. I bought a length of spiral plastic tubing, usually called Spirap. The 4mm size is good for this, but there are larger sizes available.
