Shokan sels the coolerr and hoses used as a set for around $200. They
tend to break the fittings at the radiator ends so the sell only as a
set. Dealer gets almost $200 for just one of the hoses.

or

You can get a line made up custom from your friendly local hydralic
supply house.

Does anyone on this list have or know where I can get a braided oil line
for my 1986 5000 turbo? this runs from he engine to the cooler and back. Any
info would be great.

Drew,
Had a local hydraulic hose shop make upo a set for mine for cheap - the
fittings at the cooler end broke (of course) so the shop had to braze in a
set of universal fittings (still pretty cheap) On the Audifans.com
Knowledgebase, there's a procedure for making up an oil cooler from a
universal one (not a bad price). The cheapest I can suggest is going to the
local wrecking yard and either finding a decent one from a wreck, or check
out the old Mercedes wrecks - some of them had oil coolers like the 5k
turbos - just slightly longer. I have decent one as a backup that I picked
up (including hoses) for about 10 bucks.
Cheers!
