Great to hear, for everyone else’s benefit in the future – what was the part in question here and did Collin say it was NLA (no longer available) new? Someone should invite Collin to this list – I bet he is a wealth of useful info – tell him it’s a small awesome group of people. -Larry 91 GTI

Hi guys, I haven't had a 16v in a decade.. now heavily playing with my Mk4 R32 and W12 Phaeton,... but on my old CIS-M 16v, the original fuel lines were cracked. I replaced them with fuel line and hose clamps on the existing metal and the car ran fine for many years. There is plenty of
