Uh-Oh

Picked this up last night, has a few gremlins needing sorted out one of which thanks to ianaudia 4 on here has been identified as a noisy fuel accumulator so that and a service are the immediate jobs over the next couple of days. Anyway here it is,as bought and hopefully at the weekend I can start t...

Thanks for that.Got a pic here

I take it you still say its the accumulator.
Are these still availible to buy? The noise is driving me insane

Thinking that the rough running and noise coming from the external fuel pump was indicative of the pump failing I changed the pump today,but as it turns out the noise was coming from the valve or filter type thingy immediately after the pump. So could some one tell me what it is please. The fuel lin...

I think I will leave early and give myself plenty of time. I`m sure it`ll be fine. At least it`s nice weather outside

Thanks for the advice guys,very helpful peeps on here.The pump did indeed get noisy before the car cut out so I asume that this points more to the pump than the relay?From what I could tell it was the external pump, judging by where the noise was coming from. I decided to bite the bullet and just pi...

Looks like a nice example mate, are there many Sciroccos in the States?

Mr Brown the car in question has a fairly large wad of reciepts with it and every MoT and the owner seems to be a serial VW man and has moved on to a campervan and wants my car as a daily runner.Seems genuine enough but the car has until recently spent a year laid up so I am wondering if the fuel sy...

Thanks Rob, good to know there is helpful people nearby, it is indeed an injected model but when I went to pick it up on Saturday the external fuel pump failed suddenly and scuppered the deal.It was supposed to be a straight swap for my old Jag but as its my daily runner I couldn`t go ahead even tho...

Thanks for the info mate. 43mpg really? One of the reasons for buying a Scirocco was for better economy than my current daily(an old Jag XJ6) but I wasn`t expecting as good as that(nearly double the Jag)I thought high 30s so anything more is a bonus

Have you replaced the whole filler neck or just the affected area? Sorry if thats a daft question but I am new to sciroccos and the one I am looking at suffered fuel pump failure when I viewed it and wondered if it was down to a rotten filler neck and if this was a cheap quick fix to erradicate furt...

I`m just new here, so have just read this from start to finish, nothing short of inspirational. I will keep watching with interest. Very nice mate

Definately up for that, never been before but my uncle attended last year in his Corrado and raved about it

Doh!

Thanks for that, I`m a little bit anal when it comes to looking after my cars so that should keep me busy for a while
