TRW PHB113 Brake Hydraulic Hose - Front Left or Front Right

TRW Brake Hydraulic Hose PHB113

TRW PHB113 is a DOT-approved brake hydraulic hose built for consistent fluid transfer and stable pedal response. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Audi and Volkswagen front brake applications, including Audi 100, Audi 80, Audi 90, Audi Coupe, and Volkswagen Cabriolet, Golf, Jetta, and Quantum.

Key Features

• DOT approved for road-use compliance
• Low volumetric expansion rate for firmer pedal feel and shorter stopping response
• EPDM rubber hose construction with black outer sleeve
• Four-layer fabric reinforcement for flexibility and resistance to atmosphere, fuels, and grease
• 100% zinc-coated metal end fittings to support corrosion resistance and brake fluid flow
• Standard replacement brake hose for front left and front right applications
• End 1 thread size: M10 x 1.0

Detailed Description

Built to meet or exceed OE expectations, TRW PHB113 brake hose construction focuses on pressure stability, durability, and corrosion resistance. The EPDM rubber body and reinforced fabric layers help maintain hose integrity under heat, moisture, and chemical exposure, while zinc-coated metal fittings help protect the connection points from rust. This makes PHB113 a practical replacement for front brake hose service on vehicles such as the Volkswagen Golf and Audi 80, where reliable hydraulic performance is critical.

This part cross-references 171611701L and 191611701 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by hose expansion
• Brake fluid flow restriction from corroded end fittings
• Cracking, swelling, or age-related wear in rubber brake hoses
• Front brake hydraulic leaks at the hose connection points
• Reduced braking response on aging Audi and Volkswagen brake lines
