Evening all,

My wife's car, a 2005 1.6 petrol A2, has developed a fuel leak. I think it's coming from this thing- see below. Is this the fuel filter? The hoses either side are dry so I'm wondering if the body of it has been hit by a stone or something.

Anyway I have zero mechanical knowhow so help identifying the part would be much appreciated.

Thanks

That's a pretty good diagnosis for zero mechanical knowledge!

To any clueless souls like me (or those afraid of getting oily), the A2 went into the garage today. It was a leaky fuel filter as you lot helped me diagnose, and it cost £32 to replace.
