Title: Metal Waterpipe help required please MK2 GTI 16V 1991 plate
Post by: walchy01 on 04 January 2012, 11:33
Morning all

I am trying to replace my steel water pipe that is not yet broken but is showing its age :grin:

The problem i have is no one seems to be able to get hold of a genuine new replacement, Including VW Heritage....

Part number is 027 121 065 P

Anyone else had a problem sourcing one of these?

Thanks for any help

Walchy

You tried tierod69 on Ebay? He sometimes has some harder to get parts although not always genuine.

Just wondering if anyone has ever thought about making a template up for this pipe as it is no longer available eve from The heritage boys :cry:, and or is it cost effective to do one?

Anyone looked into it?

Thanks

I have a spare early second hand pipe and a brand new early pipe that is due to arrive soon.  It has an additional outlet that can be capped off so it fits a late 16v like mine.
I will be selling both of them in the near future.

I have tried in the past contacting manufacturers such as Meyle but have never managed to get a response from either the UK or German office.
