Age old mk2 filler neck question
New ones available anywhere, or what's best option?
Heritage have a Mk1 Golf one, is there much modding involved?
Cheers

Re: Age old mk2 filler neck question
have you search the forum? several of us have posted up how we fitted a golf one, including which golf one, and some of us even put part numbers and prices
basically the one everyone says won't fit, will fit. you need a saw and a big hammer

Cheers dude, yeah had a nosey but remembered someone talking about possibly getting them made. I got one of a mate in the end, but as used will need replaced again at some point, and would prefer one that fits without any fettling lol

Re: Age old mk2 filler neck question
if you've got a rust free used one, clean it up, paint it and waxoyl/dinitrol it, and it should last for a long time

Re: Age old mk2 filler neck question
I replaced my filler neck in my daily drive Mk1 Golf cabriolet 15 years ago, (150,000 miles) and painted it with epoxy mastic and waxoyled it and it's still not rusting away!
The filler necks are different from the tin top Mk1's so for some reason are alot more money, I paid about £60 so that's why I painted it as I did not want to buy another one.
The car is driven though out the winter in snow, ice with salt on the roads, mud, rain etc... I need the car to get me to work.
I just wash under the arches with hose before and after the winter and put a coat/spray some waxoyl under there before the winter.
I can recommend the product but it does need a clean surface with a good key to stick well or it will peal off.

Re: Age old mk2 filler neck question
If you want a new Mk2 one, they are still available from VW. I bought one through my local dealer here in the States last year. At the time, there were still a handful left in inventory in the States, but the dealer checked and said there were still a large number (>100) left in inventory in Germany.

Re: Age old mk2 filler neck question
Yup thats true. I was however quoted £220 about 5 years ago. I got a local welder fabricator to knock one out for £80 in stainless steel. He had to use the original steel cap latch from the top, thoughThomasD wrote:If you want a new Mk2 one, they are still available from VW.

Good point - I should have mentioned they are not cheap. Even here, they are about 175GBP and we don't have the VAT you do. A stainless steel one will last the life of the car - that would really be the ideal solution!

Re: Age old mk2 filler neck question
Mate managed to get me a new genuine filler neck through TPS for around £250. Steep I know but alot better than £377 from Heritage!!!
It's away now being fitted so hopefully all ok. VW obviously have some stock of them left, took about 4/5days to order in, but that's it done now.
