sorry madone i couldn't reply. 8valvesgood here, changed to broadband and lost all my accounts. You can pick fuel filler necks for as little as ?30.

IMO if you can't get hold of a stainless steel MK1 fuel filler neck and if your a DIY man then buy a MKII metal fuel filler neck more common and cheaper. and has heavier gauge material, double the thickness. The downside is you have to cut the pipe and fit two rubber sleeves instead of one to obtain the angle to mate it to the tank, all the fixing holes and positions are the same though.

if you do buy a pipe you need to buy a new rubber sleeve to mate it to the tank and you will need a new rubber gasket to fit at the top as the old one will be long gone. You can reuse the black circle that covers the screws underneath the petrol cap.

I managed to get a new pipe yesterday from GPC. They seem to have loads of VW parts which is very handy. As for the rubbers they seem all ok, but I'll get new ones - better save than sorry  thanks.

OUCH!! Surely a decent fuel filter would have prevented most of this? or do the older models not have them?

I don't know what engine is in the "cc" but if its k-jetted it should still have the large pressurised fuel filter the same as all the others.  My GTI being an an older car, 1983 has that filter.

[carrie]

the cc is a gti shaun with kjet.
greenie it originally came with a dark blue pvc hood with cc embossed all over it the same as the seats. (have just bought an original sales leaflet)

[greenie]

hey Carrie yeah matching interior little CC's everywhere inc the hood cover !!!! very clean car (really dodgy wheels with it though)  Does it say what wheels they came with steels or alloys orig ?
