Fuel leak

Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 2:56 pm

Hi
i had a look under my car and it seems that one of my metal fuel lines is leaking as it really soaked under there and definitely diesel is leaking from pipe and pipe is very corroded. it is leaking from the rubber hanger that holds pipes to the car.there is a constant drip on idle ,my car is a Audi 80 tdi1993 so was wondering if there was any where i could get a replacement if not would it be possible to swap over for rubber hose?

Did you have the new fuel line fitted? if so what was the total cost because My car also has the same problem.

Hi
i had both fuel lines replaced because rotten all the way through,the total cost was £260
fuel lines and clips were £125 for both lines and £100 to replace then the vat.
But still a lot cheaper than going to audi as they wanted over £200 just for the pipes.
