messing about today I discovered this - the bracket for the air filter has been merrily eating its way through a brake line! it would've been fun to have that pop doing 170kph at the end of the main straight at Winton! or worse, when one of my kids was driving it in traffic... in an excellent planning move by Mr VW it's the front left line so I'll pull it out and get another one made up tomorrow
there's always f*cking something isn't there!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

good catch. When I was fitting up my UGP 2.5in exhaust back section I found something similar. The old back section that came on the car had sagged down nearly against the beam and had done the same thing to the left rear brake line where it goes over the beam. Lucky I had a spare for that on an old beam.
