Please help. Diesel leaking from schrader valve mk7

Postby ballihoo » Thu Apr 05, 2018 11:44 am

So I just changed fuel filter. No problems, left ignition on for bit and turned it on. Runs fine but lots of diesel leaking from the schrader valve. What’s going on?

Have you tried tightening the valve with a valve key or is it leaking out of the pipe :?:

This little b*stard. I had to buy new. Had to buy feed pipe and the return for a wonderful price of £90.

Methinks it might be a Euro-V 2.2...??
