Grab some reinforced hydraulic hose and cut that stupid "flex" out of your drain and put the hose on with worm clamps. It doesn't see pressure, just flowing oil draining to the pan. You will be glad since you will never have to mess with that bottom drain fitting again.
I used a tubing bender, on the dipstick to reform it to fit, myself. Yours looks good now though.
It's up to you Tony, but we started doing that a few years ago to make things easier going together and god forbid, anytime you have to do any turbo maintenance.
Hell, now we cut the whole tube apart and just use the end pieces for the turbo and the oil pan.

Not running to the store for p clamps so made my own with aluminum and electric tape. Ghetto but who’s looking.

I replaced all the brake lines and fuel lines all were rotted out, I miss my panda but love my blue, looks good.

I didnt want to take a chance of the rest failing so i upgraded to a 8 an fuel setup,
oh yea its was almost a 25ft roll of nicopp to run them both. but i ran them a little different than factory when i did them. at least now i know i wont have to worry about the back lines breaking again for a good while.Dang. That’s a lot of brake line. It’s those stupid brackets they used imo

yessir so easy to use @1990TSIAWDTALON reccomended the nicopp stuff to me and im so glad i went with it. so much easier to use than the stainless stuff.I’ve always used the normal coated hard line and this was my first time using the nicopp line. It was SOOOO much easier. Nicopp for life. Lol
