	The fuel pump on my mk2 Golf is leaking. The fuel seems to be leaking around the black plastic seal (the one with screws securing it, which I've zoomed in on in the second photo), which secures the metal canister (which I'm assuming is the actual pump?) into the housing. What is the other metal canister for, and what do people think I need to replace - just the pump, or the whole lot? What's the dark grey plastic unit for? Confused...

The fuel pump itself looks to have a rubber seal where the metal body fits, so I guess it's perished. I assume the internal pumps seals could have blown as well. Looking on eBay, I'm hoping something like this is what I need: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK2-1-8-GTi-16V-90-112-139HP-New-5-Bar-In-Line-Fuel-Pump-191906091H-/111266569673 I wonder if the rusty looking fitting in the centre of mine will disintegrate when removed? It looks like it'll need to be reused and threaded onto the new one?
