FAQs
Does this package include mounting hardware?
This product listing focuses on the brake hose. Always ensure you have fresh copper crush washers or mounting clips as recommended by your vehicle's service manual.
Can I use this for the front brakes?
No. This hose is specifically engineered for the rear braking system of compatible VW Caddy models and is not designed for the dimensions or pressure requirements of the front axle.
How often should I replace brake hoses?
While there is no strict mileage interval, hoses should be inspected at every brake service and replaced if there are signs of cracking, bulging, or persistent weeping.
Is this an official OEM part?
It is an OE-quality replacement part manufactured by Bosch, designed to match or exceed the performance of the original factory-installed component.
What should I do if my brake hose is slightly different than the one I removed?
Double-check your vehicle's VIN and original part number. If the length or fitting type differs, do not attempt to force the installation, as this may lead to brake failure.
Troubleshooting
Spongy brake pedal after installation
The brake system has trapped air. Perform a complete brake bleed sequence starting from the wheel furthest from the master cylinder.
Visible fluid leak at the connection point
Ensure the fitting is properly tightened and that the new copper crush washers were used. If the leak persists, check the mating surface for debris.
Hose appears too tight when the wheel is turned
Verify the hose routing path. Ensure it is secured in the correct factory bracket and is not catching on the strut or suspension links.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or someone experienced in hydraulic brake service.
- Compatibility: Before purchase, cross-reference this part with your vehicle's VIN or original brake hose OEM part number. This hose specifically replaces 1987481446.
- Installation: Always use a flare nut wrench to prevent rounding the hose fittings. Ensure the copper crush washers are replaced during installation to guarantee a leak-free seal.
- Bleeding: After securing the hose, the entire braking system must be bled according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove air bubbles.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the hose for signs of cracking, external weeping, or swelling, especially if the vehicle is frequently driven in harsh climates.
