OMP line question

I have rebuilt omp lines on my s4 t2.. One of the lines is cracked. Car is being sold, and I wont be in town long enough to fix it.. The car is travelling about 8hrs with the buyer.. Is putting a screw in the line and running premix okay? 3 lines are perfectly fine.

yes you can do that.

you can alternately use a decent silicone hose to jumper the break and clamp it down to the tubing.

both being just temporary fixes.

Right oon.not sure how well clamping to the line would work. As the line isnt metal.. I did the rebuild omp lines write up from here on the forums... would it be necessary to premix still or is 3 lines fine?

you shouldn't need to clamp it. just fit a tight silicon hose between the cracked line ends.
if you dojust disable it, i'd run the premix. it's 5$ for a litre and it won't do any harm
