Title: Fuel pump washer helllppppp!!
Post by: shaunK on May 31, 2017, 07:11:07 pm: If anyone is able to help I'd be so so grateful.

Cut a long story short whilst replacing my cam follower this afternoon I managed to drop a washer for the fuel line. Basically I removed the fuel line and then removed the brass coupler to get at the next line. (I know didn't have to) and when re-installing it managed to drop the washed into the abyss and cannot find it. The washer sat between coupler and the fuel pump, if anyone knows where to get one I'd owe you.

Thank you in advance

No the banjo is behind the fuel line circled. You should have the same connection on yours. You probably have never removed the valve (no need to), there is a tiny washer that sits on top of the brass valve circled.

Ah OK, so it's not an NPT thread then. Just suggested in a different thread about a box of mixed size generic copper washers from Halfords. One them must fit.

N013 811 4 (M10X13.5)

I've ordered two of both of these from VW (about 40p each) which should do it as somebody suggest in another post. Providing I don't drop all of these I should have a spare if anyone is desperate for one.
