Corroded Fuel Injection Pipes

Penny35_2

Hi

My friend has a Vauxhall Movano van, and on its MOT it has an advisory saying "Corroded Fuel Injection Pipes".

Anyone have an idea on the cost to fix this.

Thanks

well heres the ebay price for one of them. these will probably be dealer only parts so i would get in touch with a vauxhall dealer and ask how much. the pipes can't really be made up, they must all be the exact same length and most have intricate tight bends in them.

The fuel pipes on my Skoda looked well rusted through the whole length of them but were never mentioned by the MOT tester, and never leaked.

clean them up with some wire wool and coat them in grease to protect them. If they didn't fail they can't be that bad yet so this should help extend their life.

for some reason its quite common to have vauxhall fuel pipes corroding, i would get them changed, if they start to leak,loose pressure and draw air then the van won't start or will start and keep cutting out. high pressure diesel fuel lines can also be very dangerous,if your working under the bonnet and the engine is running and one of these pipes burst it could well kill you. no joking.
