Snapped off pressure hose

[Alex_G60_Fanatic 0]

I snapped the nipple that connects the pressure hose from the fuel pressure regulator to the throttle body. Can this be fixed?

 

It's a g60 throttle body btw. [ATTACH]47324[/ATTACH]

 

It looks like it's a little screwed in nipple but I'm not sure, could be forged into the throttle body :(

How did you manage that alex? been a bit heavy handed.

 

Id take the inlet off a use a tap to remove the old one but try remove it first using small screwdriver,it might be lose enough to get out

Was leaning on the intake manifold and slipped :lol:

 

So it is a nipple that screws in then? Where can iget a replacement??

That's the inlet - you just need a new one although it could probably be fixed by a machine shop

 

Nipple is no screwed in so not available from VW

So how is it fixed into the manifold? i tried to remove it with a tap but it wouldn't budge...

I'm not really sure - I think it's set in the cast, maybe glued... should be able to drill out and re-tap though and get one of those hose connectors to screw in.

Ideal!

 

I've never seen a hose connector that small before though, ill have to have a look around...
