Vic Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Just found out it's the fuel cooler for PD vehicles which cools the fuel return from the engine. Boy, does it get hot too! * In extreme cases the fuel lines and the fuel can reach a temperature of 100 °C on vehicles with unit injector engine. danger of scalding.

A3Floyd Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yep - my avant has one too. I had to replace it a few months back after i went over a road hump and bottomed out the car! It caused a tiny fracture which resulted in a tiny leak. Stupid place to put it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
