944 fuel line

[cassman1464]

Hi I have a 1985 2.5 944 (not turbo) I've been trying to find a fuel line which fits from the fuel pump to the fuel filter, I have found a part number 944 356 041 07 which I believe is the correct one but cannot find anyone who supplies it. The nearest I've found is 951 356 041 07 which I am told is for the 944 turbo what is the difference and would this fit my car? Any help on this would be appreciated.

If no luck (it would appear that the part is discontinued - no evidence of part number superseded) then you can always have the part made up at a service centre for commercial vehicle hydraulic bits.

Keep the existing fittings as they may be re-used.

Strip the old one off & find your local Pirtek & they'll remake it.

Thanks for the above comments, I have been to my local branch were they have removed the old bit of rubber pipe and fitted a new piece in its place. Will fit tomorrow and hopefully job sorted. Thanks again

Have you checked the rest of the fuel lines?

It's the part that goes over the rear beam that usually rusts, but the section behind the front wheel-arch liner is hidden and gets missed. There's also a recall for the bit of the fuel line that runs directly over the exhaust....

Thanks that's something I will take a look at, whole I'm replacing fuel lines and filters (because the car had been stood for 2 years ) I will check the pump. Is this ok to do by applying a direct feed from a battery for a second or two as when I first turned the car over after replacing the DME relay I could not hear the pump? Even though the car ran for a very short time probably due to the age of the petrol.
