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.

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.   :smiley:

Nice one QD, that looks like it  :happy2:

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!
