Fuel filter connectors/lines

I was wondering if anyone would know where to find new connectors/lines for the fuel supply/return lines between the tank and the filter.

I jumped under the car to change out the filter as the car has been losing power mid range under full load and throwing up a low fuel pressure code.

Anyway, when trying to reconnect the fitting for the return line to the filter, I found the o-rings and internals of the fitting to be mangled and my attempts to force it on had only made things worse.

With the car now parked up and immobile, does anyone know what part numbers I should be looking for in order to replace the two tank/filter lines?

Apologies for any mistakes. My hands are still frozenn after wrestling for ages with the filter and bracket.

While I'm at it, does anyone know if a new filter bracket is also available?

Just to update;

I have managed to trace the line I need. The part number for the return line from the filter to the tank is 1K0201293B.

In the meantime, I have managed to snap off the broken connector, drill out the remnants of the connector from the hose and reattach the hose to the filter using two jubilee clips.

Not an ideal solution but it will allow me to get from A to B until the new hose arrives.

On the upside, the car is now no longer losing power at full load so it would appear that the filter was at fault.


Still on the hunt for a new filter bracket though. If anyone knows the part number or how to get one of these, I'm all ears.
