Personally I would not use that topran hose - this is the proper stuff for fuel hose external off a bonified seller. . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382558389619

Good shout Fla. Detailed pictures here show sleeves .

Also to add please can you post which fuel line or link so I can look its good enough as not to fail premature. If its off ebay many fakes always buy from a commercial seller or known - just like the 3m tape and tessa all junk fake.

You have to slice off the metal mushrooms without cutting the pipe under mushroom ( go vertically from underneath ). If they are nice and rusty its easy just fall off- if they are solid its a pain - start working a metal flathead in between the mushroom and pipe- use some pliers squash the mushroom a little - you just got to weaken it and it will eventually drop off the hose. where the 2 pipes meet they are joined by a copper sleeve- you must not damage or collapse this. Do not over tighten clamps- fuel clamps are only torqued very low any way. use a screw driver to tighten not a ratchet,

Congrats mate good to see you out and about in the rado - its vitally important to keep them running or they will punish you for sure . Any pictures ?

Ouch ! https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/catalog/en_uk/part/1H0919651Q?ct=3&q=fuel hose 3.5 mm

Late to the party but for future reference can buy from here. https://www.onlychargeddubs.co.uk/products/g60-idle-set-screw.html

Also to note the part number starting with 1H0- is designation Mk3.

Yes chap my car just the way I took photo - they sit absolutely flush with arches - perfection fitment with no spacers - aye lot of money all right back in the day - much more then a set of rm splits .

Nice G60 you have a late body like mine- late lights- fogs , bonnet , wings - early interior.

This flyer totally blew my head the tyre size you could get with the vwms alloys which is the perfect over sized fitment alloy for a VR 7.5 J 35 ET - would they actually fit a corrado.as advert displays- especially if lowered with 25 mm lowering springs which most have ? I have some 205 45 Pirelli on them I may have wished I had gone for 215 after seeing how big these tyres are. interesting a 225 40 - on vwms. BBS RA 15 6j on 195 tyres BBS RZ 16 7J on 195 tyres VWMS Speedlines 16 7.5J on 205 tyres. Some strech on these. I actually think the better the brand tyre you get the more stretch if under sized as less play in the rubber? I had some avon sport 45 205 on some bbs RC and they were hardly stretched what so ever. .

Should not get stretch on a 195 on a 6.5 J tyre mate - what brand are they ?

Paid cheers mate.

Yes they will fit fine I even have 195 45 on a 7J tyre and look and drive fine. Here is how they sit on a sebring which is 6 J. 195 45 7 j on rz drives fine - half inch wider alloy then a speedline 6.5 .

I concur it is compatible and yes it says it does not fit but it does. Its a lot cheaper then the same vdo sender vw sell form germany with the vag stamp which is over £100.00 for the exact same part and manufacturer.

Quinton Hazell lol no chance will that be the same quality as a VDO unit.

Just to finish this thread these bolts worked fine and are described as beam carrier so correct loading.

Oh it won’t be new mate off that seller pretty sure they cost 1.4 k new something like that 💰

Seriously drop to 195 50 and get some Michelin pilot sports - great value and great tyre -no brainer .

Thanks for the kind words mate- your spot on - leather out and the shrick - would of been a breakers dream that car- also had the spoonfed deep pile set and boot carpet + carbon look sill trims- although there is a Scottish man know that has obtained them off me .

Ive just remembered I did call That Austin garage and picked his brains about chains and what they had did - his words were its an old car mate in the soft educating voice ok good bye he said.

We will never know the full story- maybe the garage told the owner there was an issue and he said just get chains on and sell- Im happy I only paid him 3 k not 5 k what he was asking. I find this very unlikely though and believe the garage either did not identify issue or buried their head in the sand - ignorance is bliss. I can also add the long term owner had a set of BBS RS003 on the car and the last owner flogged them I purchased the car off - can hardly blame him. 160k on advert car was actually 157k when it came to me- had done 1 k after chains- I drove it for a year or two with a smelly oil exhaust - it was horrid and after rebuild the power gains were immense - also to note it was drinking oil before rebuild.

Aye I think he was well trained up at this point - I have lots of receipts from seat who he used for 10 years - amount of little things like barrels - locks- handles- so nice to see the dealer could just order in new parts , window actuator £50 etc.

Guys I guarantee you Vince put that as a VSR but was in fact a Schrick - what year was the group buy 2003 same year as receipt ?? I can also say Koni shocks were cut out in 2019 as seen better days . h a r front springs rusty and dumped- rears good in my garage- sold the engine mount as wanted to try oe which i regret- eibach arbs got powder coated black with new eibach mounting kit/ bush. Sold the schrick to fund purchase of VSR. Jetex and BMC binned to old. There are missing receipts from my file to as spoke to long term owner from above receipt told me about rebuild and also he purchased the last sunroof in stock, very good owner for 15 years plus- he moved on to a E46 M3. I knew something was up when I saw the car as could smell the oil - but could also see it was accident free with some juicy parts and black leather, so he was asking 5 k - he got 3k for the car and I got the keys.

This is a tasty old receipt 👅.
