Please can anyone tell me where I can source some new injector pipes for my T25 16TD, local VW Dealer tells me they are now obsolete?
Thanks

Re: Fuel injector pipes
Find a diesel injector service or agricultural service. Injector pipes for old style diesels are simple stuff.
They are made from a length of steel injector pipe, cut to length, bent to shape and have end pieces fitted. if you supply the sample pipes for the shape required. Get all 4 done while you're at it.
This should be a quick and inexpensive service.
Make sure there are clamps, about midpoint on the pipes, clamping 2 - 4 of the pipes together or to the engine somewhere ( I don't know the layout of these engines).
These are needed to stop the pipes fracturing from vibration shock with each injection pulse and cracking to start leaking again.
You may have experienced the mess this makes!!
Used pipes may already be ready to crack and there's no way of knowing.
Sorry kit, these basic things are worth the extra expense, if any (!), to use quality parts - in my opinion. They always fail at the worst time and at the most inconveniant location!!! Murphy's first law!!

Re: Fuel injector pipes
I only suggested second hand pipes as I was unable to locate new ones when I needed some.

Yes, absolutely in that situation.
No offence meant.
