Well well, the old 99 fuel pump rears it's ugly head again
Basically, if you've got no symptoms leave it alone as it's covered by the dealer service schedule & we all get our services done by the dealer don't we ?
But if you feel you really must tinker, it's a job that requires some skill with the spanners & this is where reputable mechanics earn their bread & butter. Pete & Ron will sort this stuff out quick smart if you don't feel up to it yourself
The pump itself has 3 filters within the body, pressure, return, & pressure regulator. The regulator filter is the main culprit as it is only 10mm or so in diameter & clogs more easily. I've also seen my return filter completely blocked as well & if you pull the pump off, fit an inline filter at the same time, problem solved. <i></i>
