Hammer Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi guys, So, I have a fuel leak, pipe work (about 3/4 of the way back), just looked at it and it looks a pretty major job for replacement, is it? Any advice appreciated. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I'd remove the plastic bits and check the brake lines too as they probably won't be far behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 loads of brake line info here, which uses the same pipe run. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?140112-WARNING-15-year-old-brake-line-rotted-through I 'think' I've heard that the rear subframe needs dropping for the fuel line, you may be able to do part braided lines part solid or full braided as some single turbo guys do when needing larger bore pipes. I think there are some potential downsides to these re fuel resistance/expense maybe so needs research as I'm just going from hazy memory recall.

Hammer Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Cheers Scooter. I have it all uncovered and the brake lines appear to be in good health. I thought it looked like a rear subframe drop . If that's the case I'll get a garage to do the lot, including the brake lines whilst there at it, to be on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Reading the link it seems there are mixed opinions on the subframe drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yeh, cheers scooter, just reading through it and I think I'll leave it to the garage to sort as I don't have the time at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If you decide to go for an6 braided lines, I can confirm that you don't need to drop the subframe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Cheers Gaz, I'll look into that. I don't suppose you know the rough price for these by any chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
