A word of caution, I think it is the right pipeline.

When you go to the Dealer, make sure you have the VIN number and Reg at hand, he should be able to input either and get the correct version pipeline, based on the correct engine number fitted to your car.

It should cost around £20-25.

cheers guys went back outside and got the fuel line off so i will take that to the dealers with me, also got the pump off and the cam follower changed then put back on, for 62,500 miles it is hardly worn, feel so much better for chaning it though

looks like the union is siezed on the pipe pal, which is what has twisted it, the union should be free to spin on the pipe. Not your fault realy pal

Were you turning the silver bolt or the brass one when this happened??

If he was turning the brass nut then it will twist, you need to loosen the silver bolt then move the fuel line out of the way to take the brass one out.


On a side not moving from this older fuel pump design to the new easier rubber one wasn't cost effective, think it prices somewhere in the region of £150 +vat

I actually did this for a pricely sum of around £30. Got the fuel lines and hoses off ebay and just needed a couple of oem clips to complete the install.

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

OI!!!!!!!!!

[RobboGTI]

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#

Hi, sorry for bringing up an old thread, as quoted above could somebody explain or show me what all this looks like as the link is not working for me? How do I take the left hand line off from the bottom of the HPFP

Well! By having a quick look it looks like I have the flexible hose, that's on a 2005 gti! Thought it was the later models that had the flexi, result!

Going to give this a go at work today, mine has hit 80k so a bit nervous what my follower is going to look like!
