That line goes inside your chassis rail and all the way back to the fuel tank

Replace the whole line mate if you've cut it.

The ends I think you can still get from VW if that's easier and pipe will still reach.

Looking on google the part I chopped off is called a bayanet socket I would prefer replace the whole pipe but can't find no info on doing it  :undecided:

I think there's enough pipe to fit a new bayanet fitting on  but looking on eBay I wonder if using a 90degree 8mm pipe connector would do the same job ?? http://bit.ly/1fFc2D6

Sorry mate, scanned your post and thought you meant it was actually one of the fuel line connectors.

Is that to the charcoal canister? I haven't got one of these any more and can't remember what it looks like, if it is, isn't it reasonably low pressure and could be resolved with the item in the link you posted?

Dave the ribbed hose is the charcoal canister hose. The fuel return will be lower pressure than the feed but still enough to cause a fire if it sprays across the engine bay lol

The blue fuel line which i cut the top of is smaller insize than the pipe that runs of the fuel rail so ive ordered a 8mm to 4mm elbow reducer, checked on it daily so far as it is now and no leaks so hopefully once ive fitted the elbow reducer and its all done properly i can put my mind at rest lol
