Re: Fuel  tank cross over tube

    I guess what people are missing here is that our  friends at VW do not
sell those plastic nipples on either side of that cross  over tube without the
tube.  It is sold as a unit.  So to replace a  broken or damaged nipple you
need to buy the whole assembly so you get a new  tube.  In some cases the tube
parts company with the nipple, easy to put  back but should be hose clamped for
security.  Rarely does the tube  fail.  Most often it is the nipple that fails
so........back to buying the  whole enchilada !
