Title: fuel line replacement
Post by: unlucky alf on 02 March 2009, 22:50:14

got an advice on the MOT today regarding fuel lines corroded, the tester says they have got special ends that clip onto the plastic pipes at either end, are these a vx only part & if so any idea on price & part numbers? also are they the same for diesel & petrol engines,,,TIA ;)

I thought that the fuel lines were made of blue plastic tubing - so how can corrosion be an issue?

True, there are connectors, and the complete system is available from the stealers - I've seen the parts diagrams there.
Not sure of price though.

i dont know if its because my one is an older model but definately metal pipes, just trying to find out the bore of it so i can replace with plastic as its cheaper & dont rot, at least it was only an advice thing on the MOT so got some time to sort it :y

Fuel hoses were all plastic as of model year 1997  :y
