I spoke with Ralph Potter our local VW rep and he is going to check into this
problem.
I asked him to check with the factory trained mechanic and let me know what
type of repair they suggest for my leaking fuel lines.
We discussed the spring clamps that were put on at the factory and he
suggested that anytime a plastic fitting meets rubber hose to use the spring
clamp. I explained the rubber hose was connected to a metal fitting, and he
suggested the standard screw clamps.
He was unaware of any recall or service bulletin on fuel leaks, but said he
would check into it. I told him that this problem seems very common.
I'm going to cut my rubber hoses off short, insert a metal barbed fitting and
then add on new hoses. This should be a short term fix until I get a reply
from VW.
I'll post any information I receive back.
