Oil Filler Tube

Post by SamsBus2012 »

Hi, hope someone can help. Just had an advisory on the MOT regarding the oil filler pipe on my 1.9DG. Tester said the pipe is leaking quite badly around the union from the plastic to the metal and the plastic/rubber section is perishing. Looked on ebay and can only find one for diesels but not petrol - this seems to be the case every where. Any ideas - does the diesel pipe fit a WBX?

Or ask for one in the Wanted Forum and a breaker may have a good pre-appreciated one

Thanks for the pointer to Brickwerks. Save up for next month for a new one - in the meantime, self amalgamating tape seams to have stemmed the flow, at least for now anyway!

S/a tape is great stuff to carry ... instant (temporary) hose and pipe repairs
