I would not bother cleaning the pick up pipe, for the sake of £12 it is better to replace it.

So your willing to risk you engine for the sake of £12  :shocked:

When you consider the work involved in getting to it plus with no real way of knowing it is clean you are happy to refit.

Well your nuts, skoda / VW recommend it is changed every 70k in any case.

What a stupid idea  :rolleyes:
