cheers for the info.  Just got these off ebay:

I might be wrong but I don't think they will fit if they are from a Audi.

The fittings look the same as mine, but hey pitch sizes could be an issue if they didn't come off a Golf?
If they fit its a good price, just remember to clean the ends of rust and crust rust protect them, then spray the ends up! Some masking tape to cover braid and ends before spraying it though! :wink:

Thanks for your help, much appreciated, i take it you mean the size of the unions by pitch size?  Would it be a problem if i was to only change the one pipe with a braided hose as it says one is damaged, or would that cause uneven fuel pressures to the injectors?

Sorry i am a complete k-jet amateur

cheers

No issues as long as its rated to take that pressure I'm sure its a standard FPR and make sure you ask the people who you're getting the pipe from its rated the same flow rate i.e diameter and length should match exactly as your old pipe!
It would look a tad odd just to fix one pipe, but if yours is not a show car then who will know its a replacement part thats better than the solid steel ones as VW got tight to save money and stuck the solid steel ones on later models!
They should have the union size and pitch from there own database, but at least if it doesn't fit you can return it Ebay might be more grief as I have bought stuff with unions and they have knackard the union by force.
