It's an hydraulic return hose, however return circuit on the C6 is also pressurized at 2-3 bar. Hydraulic fluid is very much oil like so rubber should be made for that. | ||

From Citroën you have to buy the whole pipe from front to back of car. You can replace the rubber hose section yourself, with jubilee clips to secure. |

It has a similiar internal diameter. I bought the replacement pipe and removed the bit I needed. No need to depressurise before fitting, as others stated it's a low pressure return pipe. It will leak a very small amount when you unclip it, so best have a rag or cloth underneath. The pipe I bought had one clip and I had to reuse the old clamp type clip for the other end. Very fast to replace when you have everything you need ready. Link to forum pictures here. - Click Here - |

The Citroën specialist, B.L.Autos, who look my cars, have repaired this pipe on 50-100 C6, with no failures. Virtually every C6 will need this sometime in its life. |
