fuel lines

[pauljmcnulty]

It's a big job if you use original parts and replace the whole thing as you need to drop the rear beam. Of course full replacement is best, and will last at least 20 years but will cost ££££££. I just had the rotton bit replaced with a length of flexi pipe at the local garage for around £100 all in, but will think about doing it properly if the gearbox is out for a clutch or something in the future when the labour is much reduced. TBH if a car hasn't had the fuel lines repaired/replaced then it will need doing imminently!

HI

I'm looking at another 944 and it seems to have weeping fuel lines near the tank. Is it a big job to replace them?

Thanks for the help.

the same thing happened to me a while back, i took it into a local garage my dad has used for years with his 924, he replaced the back end with a bit of flexi pipe stuff, cost about £50 []

The though of a bit of flexi-pipe file me with horror. The pipe is 10mm od and I replaced a rotten peice on my 924 by cutting said pipe back to good metal, around by the pump and carefully threading 10 mm SOFT copper pipe over the torsion bar housing. By pulling the pipe straight off the coil it doesn't work harden too quickly and I was able to effect a good repair with metal pipe. (if copper is good enough for brake-pipes....) Join the pipe with 10mm compression joints. Pull them up good and tight.
