hi all, eventually i have got around to changing my fuel pump on a 04 td4. i was just trying to squeeze the filter into the housing, got it stuck a couple of times pulled it back out. 3rd effort in i notice this metal 'clip' joining the filter and pump housings and im guessing they are an earth?
i dont know if ive mangle them when whacking the filter out or when trying to force the new one in but it looks mangled and im guessing it is supposed to look a bit more flush than the way it protrudes and bend over the interior of the housing. its an earth? what the hell is it supposed to look like and just how long and skinny do my fingers have to be to sort it?
thank the gods of crap design that these cars go crispy so quickly otherwise i wouldnt have been able to remove the straps holding the snow shield do to a badly positioned nut. thankfully undoing the front nut and then ripping the shield off the rusting rear strap seemed to solve the problem.
up for sale very soon if anyone is fool enough lol : )
