I just used some wire cutters sliced off the mushroom - looks a bastard to get a sleeve in that hard line as it looks moulded from factory so Im glad I did it my way.
-
These copper sleeves are all ready inside the hard line hose so no need to put one in- just pop the new hose over it. Just need to slice the mushroom off and soft hose pulls off . if you slice the mushroom off this is what you will see . Just need to get between mushroom and pipe start from bottom and go vertical .

It’s the brand you want to find codan SAE J 30 R9 1A on hose which is fuel tested compliant . Fuel line inside tank which sits in fuel is R10 from memory .
-
One of the best colours same as the golf rallye blue.
-
Personally I would not use that topran hose - this is the proper stuff for fuel hose external off a bonified seller. . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382558389619
-
Good shout Fla. Detailed pictures here show sleeves .
-
Also to add please can you post which fuel line or link so I can look its good enough as not to fail premature. If its off ebay many fakes always buy from a commercial seller or known - just like the 3m tape and tessa all junk fake.

You have to slice off the metal mushrooms without cutting the pipe under mushroom ( go vertically from underneath ). If they are nice and rusty its easy just fall off- if they are solid its a pain - start working a metal flathead in between the mushroom and pipe- use some pliers squash the mushroom a little - you just got to weaken it and it will eventually drop off the hose. where the 2 pipes meet they are joined by a copper sleeve- you must not damage or collapse this. Do not over tighten clamps- fuel clamps are only torqued very low any way. use a screw driver to tighten not a ratchet,

This flyer totally blew my head the tyre size you could get with the vwms alloys which is the perfect over sized fitment alloy for a VR 7.5 J 35 ET - would they actually fit a corrado.as advert displays- especially if lowered with 25 mm lowering springs which most have ? I have some 205 45 Pirelli on them I may have wished I had gone for 215 after seeing how big these tyres are. interesting a 225 40 - on vwms. BBS RA 15 6j on 195 tyres BBS RZ 16 7J on 195 tyres VWMS Speedlines 16 7.5J on 205 tyres. Some strech on these. I actually think the better the brand tyre you get the more stretch if under sized as less play in the rubber? I had some avon sport 45 205 on some bbs RC and they were hardly stretched what so ever. .

Paid cheers mate.
-
I concur it is compatible and yes it says it does not fit but it does. Its a lot cheaper then the same vdo sender vw sell form germany with the vag stamp which is over £100.00 for the exact same part and manufacturer.
-
Quinton Hazell lol no chance will that be the same quality as a VDO unit.
-
Just to finish this thread these bolts worked fine and are described as beam carrier so correct loading.
