The looped section is only on LHD cars. The PF and FL hoses are exactly the same as your pictures so you might as well take the loose ones to your hydraulics guy.
If they can make a proper replica hoses with the liner etc then I'll take a few sets.
This is the S6 pipe overlaid on the S8 one. Its about 3" shorter where it runs parallel with the rack as the S6 hose runs inside the engine bay instead of through the wheel arch. It rusts just as badly though. Interestingly, this has a solid pipe section in the pressure hose in about the same place as the support bush in the S8 one so it may be that the liner only goes about 30cm in the S6 version. Same pump though so hopefully it should work.
Part number is 4B8422893A. It shows as available but backordered on TPS's system. That's usually pot-luck whether it turns up or simply goes NLA when you try and order it hence why I'm checking stock in Germany instead (by proxy). If its available to German dealers that means we can backorder it and it will actually turn up
If it is available, I envisage splitting the pipe where it runs along the rack, silver-soldering in some hose tails, and crimping maybe 10-15cm of hose in there to make it the right length.
Also, oddly, the S6 hose is one single part number, despite being split in the same place as the S8 hose which is two part numbers.
