[walchy01]

Morning all

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

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

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 , and or is it cost effective to do one?

Anyone looked into it?

Thanks
