Spent the last hour and a half trying to sort a fuel leak on the fuel filter housing.

Was supposed to be driving to London for the play-off final tomorrow.

Car won't be going anywhere...

Did you fit the new oring that came with the filter? I did that one the first fuel filter i changed and it let diesel out of the top. Had to go back to the original oring.

How was that to fit Josh?


The splitter or the cam follower? Both were fairly easy. The splitter I jacked the car up and put on axle stands then chocked the splitter in position and drilled the holes and fitted the bolts supplied with it. The cam follower was easy enough aswell removed 2 connectors released excess fuel into a rag, removed bottom pipe leading to pump then 3 bolts on the housing, pump comes off the old cam follower out new one in and reverse order for refitting.

Ahh sorry, I meant the splitter, I've got one on order. Looks good mate :)

Yeah changed it to the one that was supplied with the new filter. Definitely the seal that was causing the issue. New filter an o ring has sorted it.

Might price some new discs and pads up today or finally order my H&R's.
