VCV removal and replacement
As some on here will be aware, I have been struggling to get my vehicle running. Trouble started last August and has got steadily worse

I replaced the vcv in September last year but suspect the pressure valve on the rail was gone but did not replace that at the same time. I want to be certain the vcv has not gone again.

I have had issues with getting the valve programmed and have now spent £300 or so with diagnostics without a solution.

I did change the valve before but cannot for the life of me remember how I got the bolts out.

Is there a trick or a combination of tools that allow you to get through the forest of cables and pipes that seem to block the way. Do I have to take out components.

Really stumped Tommy

It's a real pig to get to. I think when I did mine I used a combination of long reach ball end allen key together with 1/4 inch square drive socket and knuckle socket. Lots of swearing and bloody knuckles too.

Done, 4 hours.

Found the best way for me was using a flexible drive to bend round the pipes, an extension 1/4 bar, universal joint and small ratchet.

Thanks Tommy

Did the change do the trick and solve the problem?

Combination of things I think. CHT and VCV changed and its looking positive. When I get the pump learn and pilot correction carried out (hopefully tomorrow) I will be more comfortable undertaking any serious journeys or towing. Tommy
