Hi All,

Have a question : there is a fuel leak from "something" located near the cam pulley, see picture
Anyone know what it is ?
Car is a BX19 GTI 16v

Hi there

The item you have circled is a join in the ABS sensor. An electrical item that will have no fuel in it whatsoever.

It is however on top of the fuel send and return lines, so I suspect if you can smell or see fuel, one of them has either split or is not securely fastened to the fuel rail on the engine or the metal fuel lines under the car.

PS welcome to the forum and congratulations on owning such a fine car!

Thanks for quick answer
Ok, it's just looks like it leaking from that thing !

It's not my car (yet...???) that's one of several issues to solve if i maybe buy it...
F. ex also leak in hydraulic hoses makes it harder to bring home

Still havn't decided...

hi and welcome

An electrical item that will have no fuel in it whatsoever.

well it could have if the fuel has leaked over/into it,

as Rob says probably one of those two fuel feed supply lines has perished/split,

i would not run it again till you sort the fuel leak out as its a fire hazard

were are you located
