fuel leak
« on: 21 September 2007, 21:22 »
Hey I had a quick look but couldn’t see anything so I’ve got to ask. I have a leak at the fuel pump at the back of the car (MK II digi 8v) It seams to be leaking from the retaining clip and the main box. I took the pump out and put new o rings in and its not really helped to much its turned from a small run (if wiped it would be just as bad almost straight away) into a small drip(it take a few seconds to return) my question how do you stop it I’ve done all the things I can think off.

Cheers Tri
