metal fuel injector pipes

[nickola40]

Hi all,

I've got a 1.6 turbo diesel vanagon westfalia 1989 model camper and was wondering where i could purchase a metal fuel injector pipe.
The one on ours is leaking fuel through a tiny hole the size of a pinhead practically, and dribbling down onto the nut, it looked like someone before we had it done a bad patchwork job over it and now we've uncovered the problem it could easily be replaced, but where?? I've looked on the internet no luck. Help please!! Much appreciated.

VW sell them for not much money.

I had exactly the same problem a couple of weeks ago. I paid £33 for a genuine pipe from TPS (trade part specialists)
who sell most VAG parts. I didn't try VW themselves as this place is nearer for me to get to.

Not sure if you can order online, I rang them and ordered, They were very helpful, you may get you local shops number off that site though.

yeeesh, i bought one for melvins turbo diesel a few months back & i'm sure it was less than that from vw,
they had to take the money upfront & order it in for the next day but i think it was not much more than £33 (£45 comes to mind) for a whole set?

oh well, we live and learn. I might ring vw up and ask them to give me a price out of interest.

TPS is VW.
