Whats going on? went to Citroen dealer for 4 pipes that got damage when I was changing main presure valve only to find that 2 of them are no longer available!! If this is true Citroen can rot in hell
 ! Would be a shame as I love the car  |

IIRC, vehicle manufacturers are only supposed to guarantee parts availability for 10years after manufacture. So if your model is +10years then they have every right.
Get some cupro nickel pipe and make new pipes. It's easy after the first few failures, and the CN pipe is much stronger and harder wearing. If you polished it up you could make the engine bay look "fully sik"  Any reputable hydraulics shop should be able to assist if the pipes you refer to are the combo rubber to metal types. -------------------- Craig Keller

I've calmed a bit now as I have found that Pleiades do replacement pipe and fittings
 Rant over for now |
