brakeline/hose corrosion

gvgdhar · 2015-01-31 08:45:13

Hi, I got NCT failure on brakeline/hose advanced corrosion for two wheels. I understand this needs to be replaced by some non corrosive copper/brass parts. Any idea of cost for one set?

I failed two years in a row for each rear brake line. My mechanic charged me €80 first time round, then €70 the second year. In saying that, where the corrosion was was very accessible, right at the end of the line.

It's a pretty common failure point. Had a 01 Passat fail a couple of years ago for this. Local mechanic fixed for €70 including parts.

Is this a fairly new thing? Seems to be more common recently, or is it just me

My car failed last year on one of the front one. Two mechanics that saw it said it was perfect, absolutely no corrosion. Seems to be a money spinner for them when they can't find anything else wrong.
