I got a wake-up call today when I was at the side of my Golf and dropped my wallet.
I got down to pick up my wallet and something under my car caught my eye.
I looked and found that one of the fuel tank straps had corroded and snapped in half. At the moment my fuel tank is held in place by one support strap !
My TDI is not driveable / unsafe at this time.

Does anyone have the part #'s for these two support straps ?

A word to the wise . If you live in the rust belt and own a Mk-4 please check your fuel tank support straps.
My '02 is 16 yrs old and things like this happen so a word of advise ...check your fuel tank support straps (carefully) . I would hate to have to replace these in the middle of winter.

If you have the Part #'s please post them.

I am parting out my 2002 and I could take the straps off in 2 weeks. Yes my car is at my lake place resting in peace (and pieces) now.
