Title: VX fuel pipes
Post by: mtulloch on June 08, 2014, 03:12:14 PM

Can anyone tell me how easy it is to change the two fuel pipes which run into the engine bay from under the fuse box to the "Y" piece beside the cam belt cover? These are the only ones which I haven't yet replaced.

Thanks.

They're not!

Difficult to get at because there's no access for your hands but persevere and you'll manage it.

Why do you need to change them? If they aren't broke or corroded I would leave well alone.

It's the rubber ones I'm going to replace as they are 29 years old and are only ones left on the car that haven't been replaced yet.

Are they leaking, perished or cracked?

Not yet but the other rubber ones cracked & leaked twice recently so it's as a precaution.
