Need recommendation

[AndyRS6]

My engine oil and transmission oil lines very rusty. Need to replace them, but is there any other solution besides OEM.
Thanks

You can clean those up reasonably well with a Dremel and some paint. If that doesn't appeal to you, locate a local shop that specializes in the fabrication of hydraulic lines/fittings, and get them to make you a new set. Fraction of the cost that Audi Stealerships charge you.

I thought somebody already improvised. I will try something and share the results.
Those lines are so rusty, they almost split, no way paint will fix them.

Forgot to say, depending on the fitting, and depending on how much stretch you have in your hose, you might be able to trim the bad ends off and put on racing hose ends. Worse case, purchase new SS hose and add new ends. You can do this at home and doesn't require the presses that are used at hydraulic hose shops. I would still think the hose shop is quicker and cheaper.
