Changing S2 avant fuel lines

[als2avant]

Need to replace at least the supply line on my avant, but it looks like one piece and a barsteward to change. Has anyone done this, and what needs to be removed? Does it add any complexity to do the return and breather lines while i'm at it?

Also I'd really like to use OEM line to replace, does anyone have the part numbers/ rough costs (preferably for all three hard lines under the car) for an avant?

Cheers in advance,

Al

Al,

I had to replace them on my ABY last year but mine is a coupe. There is no way you can change them one piece without removing the engine or gearbox. In order to do it on mine I installed new lines most of the way and then had to cut the 3 lines and join them to the existing lines with petrol hose where they wouldn't be exposed

Thanks greg, I may just leave mine with the repair I've done for now then.

I chopped a small section out where it was leaking and bridged the gap with tight fitting fuel hose, and some clips. Not keen on having any joins mid-span, but looks like I may have to have some when I do fully replace.

As long as I make sure the soft hose is shielded, all should be well for a while.

can be changed with out gearbox or engine removal it is very tight tho, wouldnt be able 2 do on the floor you will need a ramp, think it was about 100quid for the pipes but 1 of them is a special order one with takes bout 2-3 weeks from germany
