Putting the pump in on Saturday, ive an Audi 2.0tfsi on the ramp with a jammed open injector!! The replacements are here tomorrow so i can use the ramp to lift the front or rear wheels allowing a bit of space to drop the tank
.. you are welcome. "Thumbs up icon"... Where is it?
Oh for a ramp, a 2 post lift would be nice, my pit is a bit cramped for dropping fuel tanks, gearboxes etc.Putting the pump in on Saturday, ive an Audi 2.0tfsi on the ramp with a jammed open injector!!

The tip was great advice passed on from the crystal ball holders amongst us!
Oh for a pit! My drive is on a 30 degree slope. Makes for interesting jacking hahaha
A scissor lift would do me fine placed over the pit which is only a metre deep. Can I ask where you got the lift from?A 2 post i wish. Mine is a scissor lift for the moment until head hight and money permit... Being at the autopreneur status means no bank will touch you for a loan and all your tools are paid for out of your own pocket.. so some tools arrive a bit slower than others... Still it neary earns a wage. Much better than being in any factory, for me anyhow
All these fancy ####ers with their ramps and pits... Can't beat chasing a runaway socket down a slopey drive..!!Oh for a pit! My drive is on a 30 degree slope. Makes for interesting jacking hahaha
I have old fence post holes in the drive concrete to contend with once the sockets roll away. I have to block them all with rags hahahahaAll these fancy ####ers with their ramps and pits... Can't beat chasing a runaway socket down a slopey drive..!!

..Or creating a Brunel engineering feat just get the old girl level on that slopey drive .. then find you should have jacked up the other end coz there ain't enough room at this end after all.. so drop it down.. turn it round.. start again back up the slope..Or losing the precious 10mm in the fookin gravel on my drive!
Pain n the arse i tell ya
But we love it really...!!..Or creating a Brunel engineering feat just get the old girl level on that slopey drive .. then find you should have jacked up the other end coz there ain't enough room at this end after all.. so drop it down.. turn it round.. start again back up the slope..
That we do!
Did this!View attachment 162057 View attachment 162058 View attachment 162059And all is good in the small part of my world... Now the leak from the back of the fip which the new intank pump has brought forth??!! Once again into the bloody manifold off game.. im going to fit it back with elastic..
There be no holes under my seat arrgg! Thats why i bought the vdo unit. I do not want to go back in there again....I take it you don't yet have the in the floor hole under your back seat then Mark? Best you do it while the tank is out. Makes it much easier to change the lift pump next time.
Your car must have heard me talking about the leaking o ring at the back of the FIP and decided to show you what I meant! Your a mechanic and I'm a victim - you at least have the real skills
Man, you is a hoarder!!
(I swear that truck has a smile on it's face mate..)
