Lambo Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Ok, its not my fuel tank thats leaking, now that i have bothered my ar*e to look i found out that its comming out of the pump, (i'm guessing thats whats directly above the axel and not an accumilator???) so is this an easy job? What am i looking at paying to have it replaced for part and labour??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Is the filter itself expensive then mate? How long does it take to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime73 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 i think it was 20 odd squidgarage did mine but its just 2 bolts and unclipping the fuel line each side of the filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambo Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Does it look like an engine oil filter just a little bit smaller and is just above the axel?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reidy Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 yes theres an arrow pointing in the direction of the flow towards the engine, I have a haynes manual that tells you how to do it, not with me at mo tho, let me know if you want it, i'll scan it and send it ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairM Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Yeh aint hard, hardest bit for me was getting into the bolt to get the clamp off for it. IIRC the flat end of the filter is where the fuel enters - the pointy end is where it leaves. member to de-pressurise the system first. fuel pump fuse out and start her up..
