    Hi,

     

    I have a fuel leak from the box section where the pipes run down from the engine towards filter.

    I have replaced the black "flow" pipe from the filter to the engine with some pipe I had but not correct size externally, this has stopped the leak but the car still will not idle smoothly. Before the small leak the car was running perfectly, it started by being difficult to start but better when warm then I noticed the small leak.

    I'm happy the pipe I've replaced this is the correct size internally just not good enough for permenant fix.

     

    So has anyone got any ideas what this could be?........

     

    Also

     

    Can some tell me where I can purchase a new file line kit from, tried GSF, TPS, VW, etc but can't find anyone that does a kit.

     

    Any help would be great as wanted to take her away next weekend!

    So I found out the oil in the car from the recent last service that the previous owner had done was 10w-30.

    Even halfords state it should be 10w-40 and after a little research on here and the net with the fact mine has upgraded cams, exhaust, re mapped it should have better oil in it and maybe this was the cause for the tapping noise. So I changed the oil to mobil 1, 10w - 60 and while at it change the filter for a genuine vw one. The car is now running sweet and smooth. I think 10w - 50 would have done it but 10w-60 will cover all, plus it was on special.

     

    Now all I need is the sun to come out and for the rain and snow to stop.:thumbleft:

    Found this clip and it's the same noise, quite when cold then loud when car is up to temperature.

     

     

    Also found a old thread and noticed the old owner had the Same issue in 2011 :scratch:

    http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?57224-VR6-Ticking-noise

     

    I will have a look at the weekend and see if I can find out what this is, even though its only just had an oil change by a garage when the past owner had it think a flush and new oil may help as not sure what oil they put in.
