[Vwdiesel] Broken injector line "saga"

[82 Diesel Westy]

Hey Jon, had that problem over the years.  I got a new
line or two from The Parts Place, but they were about
$20 a single line.  You will need to bend as they are
for 1.6na.

Try AutohausAZ, they are my new shop.  If they don't
list it, they can get it and they always bet anyone
elses price.

Example. They did not list an emergancy brake cable
for 90 Audi 200.  They sourced it for me for $19
bucks, less then anyone.  Then they added it as a
normal part to there listing of parts for that car,
but they listed it at $15.50, even cheaper, sucks for
me, but good for the next guy.  I was happy all
around.

We age getting closer to B100 for general consumpion
here in the north east, should be in about a year.
