Ahh, got this sorted yesterday mate, my Fuel pipe that carries the diesel is Blue :huh: and what happened, is where it is under the car, the crappy thing that is meant too hold it and protect it like a cover. It somehow put a pin hole in the pipe!!! My mate said he's never seen that happen before, found it rather amusing, i obviously did not lol!! Then, on my journey home from an interview, my heat shield was hanging off lol!! So had too put up with that making a horrid noise for bout a 40minute drive lol!!!
But thankfully, stopped at my mates garage on the way back, and he sorted it out.
And regarding that boost gage, he said you have too mess with a couple of bits too install it, and he said in his opinion its not worth doing, said I have a good car, that runs smooth etc. And if I start messing with the engine, it may end up being a car, that does not run nice and smooth lol!!!

Can you get a picture of this pipe?
If its under the car that's why I can't ever remember seeing a blue pipe :laugh: :laugh:

Can do later lol, you can see it quite clearly, I think it runs along side the oil pipe. He put a case over it kinda thing, so hopefully it will hold lol!!! How much will one cost if i need to replace it? For future reference, if it doesnt hold out lol!!!!???

It was leaking from under the drivers side door, you can see the two pipes there under the car :smiley:

Right, know what the problem is now. Does anyone know how much a Fuel Pipe will cost, my one has a pin hole in it and is leaking quite a lot of Diesel, rather annoying tbh...
Any advice much appreciated :smiley:

The one going from the tank to the filter (this is the one I believe you have been talking about) will not be much, I imagine £20 at most from an autofactors.
A bit more from VW.

Basically, where you can see it under the car itself, its leaking just before you see the end of the pipe. The crappy casing that holds that and the oil, and is meant too protect it is what made a poxy hole in it!!!
I'll have too get one ordered :cry:
-
Turns out I need a whole Diesel Cooler. As now its leaking again, thats what would stop it :angry:
-
CAN SOMEONE DELETE THIS PLEASE?
GOT THE CAR FIXED, N TY FOR ADVICE :smiley:
-
So what about anyone else who might have the same problem? :huh:
The whole point of the forum is that you post up a problem, it gets solved and it then helps others in the future.........

Well, my bad!! End of the day... the issue was......
My car started leaking diesel, and I didnt realise, I then noticed a puddle on the floor, and realised it was diesel, after wondering why I was using so much diesel so fast.
It turns out, the diesel cooler itself, has a plastic tray type thing, that is meant too protect it. But it was this casing that caused the problem.
The forks, that clib the pipe from the diesel cooler, into it, became lose which after some time obviously made a whole. As the corner of the plastic kept rubbing on the tube from the diesel cooler.
So, all in all, anyone with a diesel, get rid of the crappy plastic thing near the cooler, which sits under the drivers door.
As this could also make a whole in yours :smiley:
