looks like i was undoing the wrong bolt





i know its gonna be a new fuel pipe luckily jsut the one and i can see where it runs to etc, does anyone know the part number or know if its ok to just undo the pipe and take it off etc?



i havnt started the car as not sure if there is a little hole to leak from

what other issues could i have

also how do you undo the second pipe? in the guide this is rubber but mines slightly older

any help is greatly appreciated

Dude what did you do???? how on earth??? are you mates with baldwined30? my advice fella is to leave it alone to someone who has the experience. hope you get it sorted

As i was undoing the nut i obviously wasnt undoing the bolt just twisting the pipe instead which made it look like the nut was coming out. The pipe is only held on both ends with a 17mm nut so easily removable to replace.its just how to undo the other part thn it can be removed and everything back to normal.fingers crossed

I see the part number as 06E 127 501N on the nut itself.  Unfortunately, I think this means that the whole fuel line will need to be replaced. Perhaps there is the option to replace with the newer version with the rubber end piece and without the banjo bolt on the left side.However, that right side line appears to connect under the intake manifold so a bit fiddly if it's the same as my car.  In any event, I think a dealer will need to get one on order as I don't think your car is going anywhere until then - their EKTA catalogue will tell you what's needed.

What year is the car?  What engine code?

[gazbutS3]

the nut should spin on the pipe shouldn't it?????

what is the pink residue???

[liver]

Yeah its the same as yours there is room to get in from above the manifold but as you say its fiddly.will be a trip to te dealers in te morning for me to order the part.as for the new rubber pipe i wouldnt want to change that as it has quite a few junction etc coming off the one metal pipe so would mean replacing quite a few and the side of the pump hast been affected.if possible ive bent the best one, every cloud and all that

[QD MBE]

I think it is number 8 below.  This is 2006 AXX engined Gti.

The car is a 55 plate 06 model,think its the axx engine model but will need to double check. The pink isnt a residue its on the metal pipe might be due to the metal stretching/bending

[muckipup]

Nice one QD, that looks like it  

Good luck mate. That bolt should've spun on the pipe but was obviously siezed to it.

You have probably seen this but for others, this is what it should look like when it comes off and with a banjo fitment on the other side: http://www.golfmkv.net/blog/archives/6#

cheers QD thats greatly appreciated,

will i be ok to remove the fuel line now?? do i need to do anything before i remove it??

cheers for everyones help its greatly appreciated

[gazbutS3]

have you depressurised the fuel lines?

[liver]

io depressurised the fuel pump as in the guide with the realease part and also had the bent pipe off at the fuel pump end like in the guide after id found out it was twisted so should be depressurised, is there anything i can do at the inlet end to depressurise the pipe?

[gazbutS3]

should think it will be ok now, just undo it slowly with a rag near it to catch any spillage, don't open the drivers door with it un-done unless you have disconnected the battery

[liver]

thats brilliant Gaz cheers for your help, will crack on with it before the misses comes

shes now my taxi for the weekend bless her
