How to replace the fuel lines on an Audi TT Mk1 and how to remove fuel lines that are leaking.
A leaking fuel line in an engine bay can be extremely dangerous so you should always change your fuel lines if they are leaking.
Smell fuel under the bonnet? Get it checked!
On the Audi TT mk1 it is a simple process.
This is very simple with just a couple of hand tools.
You need:
A spring clip removal tool.
Screwdriver.
Pipe cutting tool or knife.
A length of 5/16 or 8mm x 1mm Fuel pipe.
The 2 fuel lines you need to replace are 34Cm and 41Cm. However, I would cut these 37cm and 44cm to give yourself some extra pipe.
If you are replacing the clips also, I would go with genuine spring clips as the jubilee clips tend to contribute to the fuel pipe lines failing.
Please leave me a comment on this video and let me know if you have any questions.

Hopefully this will help you change the fuel lines in the engine bay.

useful prompt……I must go and check mine!
Nice and clear instructions as always, Andy. I like how you include relevant info like sizes and torque specs in your videos. Very useful. I think my fuel hoses are fine for now, but it looks like an easy fix, so maybe worth doing just for some peace of mind.
P.S. Audio sounds fine here. Some slight distortion maybe in some parts, but nothing that ruins the video or makes it hard to hear what you're saying. The Audio changes character a bit at 0.46 and gets better at 1.20 and a bit worse again at 1.59 then better at 2.53. etc. It's more noticeable on my phone than on my computer. Maybe give the video a watch on your phone to find the "rough spots".
First thing I did with mine…brought an upgraded set from Advocult motor sport. Such an overlooked but key item to replace for a car that’s 20 years old, and could protect your investment as if they go when engine running could cause a thermal event
Might wanna check ya audio mate
