correct name of pipe/hose - Mk2 Golf - dieselfreak
Merry xmas one and all,

its that Golf Mk 2 diesel again.

There is a rubberpipe/hose that runs from a nipple under the carb ( do Diesels have a carb ?) to a nipple on the non injector side of the cylinder, its leaking fuel and corroded. does any one know the correct name for this bit, and more importantly where I can buy piece of it about half a metere long, its not reinforced by the way, and its just a push fit, its quite a small bore. Help please. Thanks

Whilst not knowing what the piece of pipe is, I can assure you that no diesel has ever had a carb, so it would be useful if you double checked what this is

One of the VW experts will be along in a minute

Agree it sounds like a return pipe. Any motor factor should be able to help you.

But do make sure it is not pressured before you tackle it. High pressure diesel is dangerous ! To YOU !!
