16VG60 0 Posted July 30, 2011 Don't buy pattern parts firstly, the rear bushes need to be genuine parts to ensure quality and longevity. As for your fuel pipes, you don't say what Corrado yours is. Typically all Corrados other than the Valvers have very simple plastic fuel pipes which don't typically have MOT issues. The 16v Corrados use a more elaborate arrangement for the k jet system and these do have issues with corrosion and cracked pump housings. Replacement of these pipes can become very expensive and sometimes difficult due to unions being seized involving renewal of the component they are fitted to, ie pump or accumulator, and parts are now deleted from dealer stock.

ray_vr6 1 Posted December 4, 2011 I have a similar problem - sourced a new accumulator, casing and pump but need the pipe work. Surely there must be something or someone out there able to supply these pipes! Anyone know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted January 4, 2013 I'm interested to see what's available for my Valver too, maybe the MK2 Golf KR boys on other sites may have some idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrots 1 Posted January 4, 2013 yer its only a mater of time untill my pipes start leaking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swampy 0 Posted January 4, 2013 im not familiar with the pipes in question, but i can supply braided fuel line if they could be replicated in that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrots 1 Posted January 5, 2013 yer i reckon it should be ok,they would need to hold a lot of pressure i think and have the unions on to fit the fuel filter etc.i am sure you could sell a few sets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swampy 0 Posted January 5, 2013 where do they run? any one idea what ends are on them? i e do them clamp on or are they threaded ends? taking the pressure isnt a problem, the company that supply my braided brake lines also do fuel hoses including sampling rigs to FIA spec so im sure they can manage some normal fuel lines.
