Reply With QuoteNeed a side view to get the best look but I would imagine VW have used the same system across the range . And yes a proper clamp would be better the circlip was just not going to last .

This is the connection on my Mk5 Golf. Is this the same on the T5? I haven't had a problem yet but I noticed that on our Tiguan, VW have gone to a worm drive clamp.
Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

Yeah that'd be it. Thanks for the photo. It lets me understand what grabs what better.Originally Posted by jets

It did click in last time I pushed it in. The spring moved. So not sure how long it'll last this time, but reluctant to drive it. I'm still tempted to just put two self tappers in it. Will see if it's achievable without half dismantling the front of the van so I can wield a drill in there. I'm guessing the pressed bit on the pipe is what's lost it's edge as I'd imaging it's aluminum or softer steel most likely. So I would be drilling into the part in photo above, just back from the spring I guess.
