X4MGS doesn't have the pipe, although he has suggested VW Classic in Germany so fingers crossed I might be able to source one...

Can anyone with a mk2 16v confirm that their fuel pipes DON'T have these joins in them, I may be looking for something that doesn't exist!!



Leak is from this metal pipe, which goes to the black pipe...

When looking at my leaking fuel pipe I found that a section of my fuel feed pipe has been replaced under the car (the clear bit in the picture below). I can't for the life of me work out why, so the piece of pipe I was looking for doesn't actually exist on any other car apart from mine!!  :laugh:

Anyway, a huge thanks to Popleyruss on here for helping me discover this and with a bit of luck selling me a complete fuel line to the front of the car.

The metal pipe next to the banjo fitting was completely rotten.


On a more positive note, the filler work on the bootlid has been done so after some sanding, it will hopefully be in primer on Saturday.

And got the AP coilovers fitted on the front.

I've always fancied a set of coilovers on it, and I figure I'm worth it!!!!  :grin:

I have actually been stockpiling parts for ages so loads of shiny bits to go on as its getting rebuilt. I have never tried coilovers before, but its a toy and will never be used daily so it should be ok...

In for a penny....

Glad you figured out the fuel line issues, it's been too wet or dark or both to get under my car to have a nosey.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Popleyruss is sending me the fuel line so no worries there now, thanks for the thought though...

Haven't done anything to the car today, picked up a Golf TDI 130 for the other half.

Gonna try and do a bit on it tomorrow..
