wesrev87 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Guys,I really need a hand with this. Got Arosa TDI which is lowered, and have managed to damage the fuel heat dissapator underneath. Found the part number (6n0201895 in case anyone needs it) but Perrys say it's discontinued And VW have no stock. Now the local salvage place has one from a 9n polo 1.4 tdi. Does anyone know if this will fit?Any help would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Is it actually needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Is it actually neededI doubt it. When I did my diesel purge it was bypassing the filter straight into the jar and it got hot but that was a very short run. By the time it gets back to the tank I'd be surprised if it was warm.

jon_273 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 If it wasn't needed why would they fit it? I bet a fair amount of heat is put into the fuel when it is pressured up by the mechanical pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Also to answer the original question, I think a 6N2 TDI might be a better bet since they share the same platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesrev87 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys. Have been hunting for one off a 6n platform (any of them) and can't seem to find them anywhere. Might need to start thinking outside the box on this, need to get it back on the road.I do a fair amount of mileage so does anyone know if I bypass it if it will cause issues?

I bet a fair amount of heat is put into the fuel when it is pressured up by the mechanical pump.I thought it would be hot from cooling the injectors? Either way these cars are made to work from sweden to Kenya and im sure it's a just incase. Either way if I couldn't find one I'd not fit it instead of writing off the car. Do the skodas use them? I'm sure they was using the AMF engine much later than a lupo so might still have the fuel cooler? worth a check maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway seems like I am in luck (sort of). Local VAG garage has tracked one down. So I should be back in action in 7-10 days.Thanks for all the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
