so, looks as though i have developed a leak on the driver side of the fuel tank. there was a recall on this and looks as though the recall is over. is there something i can seal the leak with or do i have to replace the tank. If I have to replace the tank is this a pretty difficult thing to do? I don't have a repair book yet and waiting on it. thanks

JB weld. mix it, out spread it out good (not too thin), let it dry, re fill slowly.
best to do when its not driping...but it can be done.

It's best to replace the tank, but it's ultimately your decision.

To replace the tank, the rear beam needs to be dropped. This will give you an idea of what's involved: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4819077-...st64787511 .
