Hi everyone
My noisy TD5 fuel pump mystery continues. I know its not the pump (Ive replaced it 3 times including a VDO one) - the new one is quiet for 24 hours then goes noisy again.
Ive replaced the fuel filter and checked the air bleed filter (the fuel filter housing was replaced a month or so ago).
I'm now going to replace the fuel line from the fuel filter (air bleed and LP feed) to the fuel pump (number 7 and 9 on the TD5 pump diagram) as I can pull off the connectors from the fuel filter housing without having to push down on the clips. Anywhay its not too expensive and an easy job. However the replacement fuel didnt come with the clips that go into the filter. Ive got some when I got the new fuel filter.
My question is, what is the best way to put the clips on. I see on one youtube video where the clips are put into the fuel pump and then the fuel line is pushed in and there are 2 clicks, which means its secure. And Ive also seen someone just pushing them on.
Anyone got any vews on this or done it themselves?
If this doesnt solve the issue Im going to replace the gasket and small filter on the FPR vale (I replaced that unit last year).
The high pressure feed connection line from the pump to the engine is pulsating so that wil be the next step.
Thanks for your help
regards
