Yup, wise words there. Bit the bullet and ponied up for the Pro Alloy housing.
I'm getting new rubber hoses and clips ordered up for the overhaul, but was wondering if you had any advice for the hard lines between the pump, filter and accumulator? Should I look to renew these as it'll all be in pieces or do they hold up OK over the years? The pre-made braided options seem expensive for what they are.
Hi all, I've had to replace the lift pump and the fuel pump / filter in my 16v mk2.
I think the increased flow and pressure has caused a leak to appear the top of the plastic pump housing.
I know that VW stopped manufacturing these so I guess I have two options:
1. See if there is such a thing as a second hand non-leaking housing 2. Buy an aluminium repo at around £450
Does anyone have any smart ideas, alternatively have experience in doing this? Taking out the housing and pumps etc should be no hassle but some guidance of what to look out for or change whilst doing the work would be great. What clamps to use and what grade and dimeter of hoses etc.
