do you mean the big white plastic ones if you do it will be easier to break them out and buy new ones as they are about 50p each when i tryed getting mine out they wouldnt budge.

mine are black and they sit in the mani, one on each branch. then the fuel pipes go down into them
anyone know what im on about lol. i dont know how to post pics else i would

i replaced these on mine as they wer leaking fuel past them just take the inlet off and i think it was a 19mm allen key cud be 17mm cnt remember and a breaker bar and they will undo and just be careful nt to cross thread the new ones lol

I found the 19mm allen key too small on mine. I ended up buying a box spanner to remove them and a tap to re-thread the manifold just so they all went in nicely.

Are they threaded?? I thought they were just push in.

thanks for your gents

I think the thread is m27x1.5 the tap is in the garage so i can check tomorrow. Its too cold to be running out there now

box spanner is your best bet thats how i did mine, couldn't find a an allen key big enough.

i take it your putting new ones in, if not make sure you've got some spares just encase you break one.

had a stroke of luck, didnt realise where i worked had a hex machine so they have jus made me a 20mm allen key head for use with a spanner. yeah i shall be replacing with new as 3 out of the 4 had to be broke out.
am i likely to have fault codes when all back together coz i still cant get ma vag com workin?
thanks for helping gents

 

[Cupra20]

that was a stroke of luck then dude,

if you put everything back as it was then i can't see you getting any fault codes to be honest
