Replacement of Fuel Sys




I'm about to replace the whole fuel system from the tank to the engine.
My lines are corroded under the car, the rubber connectors are pretty well
dry rotted, and if not leaking now, will start at some point soon.

The major impetus?...I have a fuel leak of unknown origin that can be seen
and smelt after each drive.

I had it in the VW dealer and they could not locate the fuel leak, and
refused to check the tank for a leak due to the fact that the Recall was
issued too long ago. They generously offered to replace the whole fuel
system for $2000. Geez, thanks VW USA.

So now Im going to do this myself.

My question is, has anyone replaced the fuel lines on a 16v? If so,
do you have any recommendations in terms of what is needed, or what can be
upgraded with newer or better parts/materials.

Thanks in advance
