Is it worth doing this whilst doing the timing belt change, even if the existing pipe is not leaking? On the Audiworld site, it says it takes around 7 hours, which seems an awful long time.
O-rings? The pipe has four grooves, but the Audiworld site seems to only show two being used on the pipe and one on another part. It also mentions another o-ring they suggest replacing.
This is the bit that has me confused:
3 each O rings, part #077-121-437.
1 each oil seal/gasket, part #077-115-441.
I've provided a link to the page in question below:

Where do you get the o-rings from? I'm finding dealer prices of £7 each, so was thinking of just buying a metal pipe with o-rings provided instead, like this one:
