sim0n_parker 0 Posted August 28, 2007 this might be all ready know but thought id post it, whilst doing the heater matrix today and general tidying up under the bonnet i ran it up and noticed some smoke, quickly turnd of and had a nose about, i noticed that the fuel pressure reg on the injector rail furthest side away from cambelt. there was a small pipe about 6inchs ish that kind of bends round of the injector rail to some sort of switch, i muct have knocked this and it was driping fuel out onto my inlet manifold and exhaust manifold, i replaced the pipe and used two new jubilee clips and its sorted the problem i hope. just thought id let people know if they didnt all ready, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted August 28, 2007 One of my mechanics had one bust on him last week all over a red hot engine, great fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dub_nut_g60 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Ive previously had this hose leak and on a seperate occasion come off (luckily engine was cold) It seems like a very silly place to put a fuel hose - somewhere that if it leaks it drips onto the exhaust manifold! Mine was a problem with the jubilee clips, looked like they had kept being tightened and in the end they went out of shape, well worth replacing them with new.

Supercharged 2 Posted August 28, 2007 Just to add to this - make sure you either use VW hose or good quality 'ribbed' fuel injection hose that is made to be bent like that, genuine hose clips also a very good idea... I'd also recommend you change the other 2 fuel pies (also 15 years old) as they also start to perish at the clips... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sim0n_parker 0 Posted August 28, 2007 but isnt the other two pipes (feed and reurn) go far back under the car? chears Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted August 28, 2007 The two feed hose only go back to the plastic (and totally reliable) lines on the inner wing but they are silly money at £40.91 for the feed and £29.16 for the return. Slightly off topic I know but the feed hose for a Golf 2 PB engine has now gone obsolete but you can use the G60 one, although how long before that goes obsolete and we have to make do with off the roll pipe which needs to be run a lot further to take the curvature and seems to perish far quicker?
