We have a culture now we want all and we want it straight away . Its a sad war everyone is someone son - one thing it has highlighted is how tanks and heavy armour is becoming obsolete- you certainly dont want to be in a metal tub in the Ukraine at the moment, sitting duck. As mentioned crimea - could of prevented this war if they started taking action then hitting the wallet- its also highlighted the failure of UK energy - we need to build some serious stations and get some big juicy filters .

Is that a pay channel ?

The UK has huge quality issue in most sectors these days. The main issues are poor management- especially amongst uni leavers with no time served on the front line so dont really understand the sector and the workings . s i. e 70 s 80 s site foreman ex brickie (gets respect off work force and cant pull the wool over they eyes. - now uni leaver never got hands dirty - easily blagged- can not identify the foundations of error and nip it in the bud. Staff that are not easily replaced so hard to reprimand Programmers have caused generic havoc to customer service by computer says no and no individual problem solving or responsibility of staff. Lazy staff/ owners. Too many middle men. None specialised time served tradesmen that have learnt the proper way. Lack of quality apprenticeships and too many attending none specific vocational higher level education. All these combined have led to a pretty toxic trade and service industry- Im still on the tools to control quality but when I come off I will inspect every job but the hard thing will be replacing the scaffolders when they get fed up of me sending them back to a job and highlighting their errors- but an error in my trade can easily lead to a prison sentence if an accident occurs due to a fault in the scaffold which will primarily be me getting clink not the lazy so and so that did half a job. I would say if you have not fell out with a builder or someone carrying out a big job for you then you have taken your eye off the ball , my last project here plumber got thrown off the job and so did the plasterer - dont hold back and let them convince you what is good for their short cut is good for you . The ironic thing is life has got so much easier with modern material and the work place in general but the standards have reached piss poor levels. Just look at the Victorian buildings - the tools they had - wages- and compare that to a micky mouse new build of today .

Mine was on a transit flat bed pick up - clutch change - few days later driving down the motorway and rear drive shaft fell off as they forgot to tighten bolts - disgrace.

Yes the factory long life is the best quality money can buy- the oe manufacturer was Leistritz which was later purchased by Eberspacher. Ive been collecting this 16v exhaust for the last few years - some odd nos parts do come up in the States. This is for sale- shows how well its has lasted. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/vw-corrado-vr6-original-abgasanlage-leistritz/1983881640-223-1100 v

Good stuff mate - it was well crusty the old one- could see micro cracks and that hard think I could of broke it- you might as well do it as i dealt you will sell your car when the time comes lol . Will be doing the vr one to as that is very crusty. Ive just notice as well I need to go back to it tomorrow as the white clip has snapped and i need to twist the hose- last owner got the rear brake lines done- shite ones and looks like they snapped it to get the brake line into position.

Thanks chap.

I took off again for a good picture - it has sleeve so your good to go. The last picture shows the line other side of filter which you can still buy for 50 euro so im just putting a new line on there- but yes you could just replicate what i have done the other side with a short cut off codan hose 7.3 mm. .

Yes they have a metal lining - I only tighten with a screw driver as not to over toque . The black part is the same but of a mk2 swirl pot I have spare im experimenting on - bottom picture you can see the black pipe I cut off the mushroom and that is the pipe.

Did the fuel filter rubber replacement today - pretty easy .

My fastest was a brand new mustang S550 5.0 425 bhp - also 996 and 997 these put the power down better 320 Bhp . The most premium car I have owned by a country Mile R129 Sl500 5.0 around 305 bhp . The engine bay still looked newish after 20 years - absolutely best quality cars ever built . Fastest I’ve been in is the latest M5.

Yes mate it it has one of them rotten mushroom fittings cut of the the fitting- slice the fitting open do not cut hose . This genuine codan hose should work fine cut section as needed. I will use these clamps also with soft edges, . Just dont over tighten them - the lines are pretty hardy its just the rubber hose on the end that rots and the mushroom sleeves rust . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132124984649?var=431472213572 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382558389619 You can also buy these sleeves. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333662625744 The genuine vag hose is 7.5 mm part number N90080102 - I would just by the cadan 7.3 mm its ethanol safe as well.

Maybe the new mouse invasion will give everyone a bit of encouragement to fit before they get chewed up.

I have done a bit more research on this and yes its correct- cut off the metal mushroom and install hose and clamps to both ends,

I got some nos ones few years back - one each side but Im still going to buy these as spares because of the mold shape is hard to replicate.

Yeah I got some spare they are mega money - also came on an audi i believe- I will also be buying some of them fuel lines from the passat but have you fitted them yet- any issues ?

No number missed out. You can see the obsolete hose here mate - you can see no where to put a clamp where the rubber meets the plastic hose as has that mushroom join sleeve, i think the clamp is on diagram to say you can chop off that fitting and retro fit with no 3 and 4. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-volkswagen-audi-parts/fuel-line-supply-no-longer-available/535201293d/

So you see that clamp is not on ours so im thinking you can chop off the ruuber and the bit that rots and put that new hose on it with x2 clamps. Canst see why else they would have it on the diagram.

It certainly is comes with the hose on the end and cone fitting but im on about the hose the other side of filter to tank which is obsolete, so im wondering if you can chop of the rubber and cone fitting and retro fit the hose and x 2 clamps as shown on diagram.

Im afraid not mate no 2 is from tank to pre filter and then no 10 is after filter to engine bay fuel hose.

So im thinking about doing some work in this area on fuel lines. No 3 on diagram I have that hose new. 357201311 https://www.ilcats.ru/vw/?function=getParts&market=RDW&model=COR&modelcode=76&year=1991&group=2&subgroup=201&part=68060&language=en Note no 4 is a clamp that is not on mine and nor my g60 which been late is the same a s vr fuel line set up - Im wondering that metal part that rusts, is it showing a clamp so you cut the metal bit of and use the new hose and x 2 clamps??? If so its a good hack. All lines are obsolete apart from no 10 which is from fuel filter to engine bay.

The abt alloys they would fight over them in classifieds. .
