    197 fuel pump

    I would if I could get it off. It runs between the actual pump and the white plastic surround/housing. I need to detatch it from that surround without damaging it, I don't care about the hose cause as you said, I can just use another hose

    197 fuel pump

    Hi guys, I've had a 197 now for around 6 years (172 cup prior) and a few years ago I passed it over to my wife after buying a 3.2 TT.

    172 cup clicking sound from passenger front wheel

    Had this for a few weeks now, sounds like a ty wrap tied to the drive shaft and hitting the floor as you drive along. The rate increases with car speed and not engine rpm and does it in all gears and declutched. I jacked up the front end today and let it run in first and second with the left...
