bobbymkII 0 Posted January 17, 2010 yeah sorry its a 1993 2.0 16v 9a and it wont be moving till its fixed as i agree car fires not my favorite..... seems either the rubber pipe or possibly the old rusted metal pipe has like a pin hole in it where it shoots out ...

colinstubbs 0 Posted January 17, 2010 If it's the accumulator pipe (14) it's about £27 + VAT from VW (and the seals are a few pence IIRC) Be prepared for all the associated unions to loosen off as well as the ones you want to come undo!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbymkII 0 Posted January 17, 2010 thanks again folks great help :D :D .... looks like tomorrow will be spent on the phone and in vw see whats best way to go...think be as well replacing pretty much all the pipes and fittings etc as the others look way past there best and i dont fancy a rado fire on route to u.d. in march Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
