Hi all, I'm after a bit of fuel hose advice please. 
The Wiki recommends replacing the hoses in injected engines is a dealer only job, unfortunately my local dealer won't touch vans. The question is, do I go to the hassle of taking it to another main dealer 40 miles away on a Saturday and not be able to pick it up until the following Saturday, or do I trust the job to a local gargae who only do VW/Audis but who aren't a mani dealer?
What would you do?
Many thanks
Wes

Did you  decide what to do Wes?
I was planning on doing this this weekend on my 1.9, and have never heard anyone suggest that it can't be done at home before.

Re: 2.1l petrol fuel hose replacement
Anything can be done at home with the right skills
1.9DG is easier than the 2.1
Do yourself a favour and buy the 100% ethynol pipe from Brickwerks, 5.5mm for DG ( 7.3mm for DJ except tank to pump)
new clips too OD is 11mm for DG and 13mm for DJ
