Golf gti mk3 fuel filler pipe
« on: 10 December 2012, 21:09 »
I'm having trouble with my fuel filler pipe it's rusting badly.
Went to put fuel in her tonight and the part where the cap screws into has rusted away.
Can anyone tell me if I can just buy a kit or a neck for the tank, and if so where I can get o e from



Thanks for your help :tongue:

Dont see what is rusted anyway as the pipe is plastic and part of the tank.

That was my initial thought but then remembered there was a steel ring which the cap attaches to.
