Replacing Diesel line from Pressure regulator to the front

In 2010 or 2011 I changed my diesel pressure regulator of my 2003 engine but as I couldn't loosen the front connection as it is hard to get to, I didn't change the diesel line along the engine. This week that line told me it had to be changed earlier.
Driving to an industrial area I started to smell something but I thought it was one off the companies there. When stopped a few km further I was pointed that my car was leaking petrol. OK it was diesel and quit a lot.
After taking the engine cover off and putting the ignition on again there was a nice spray of diesel through a small hole in the flexible part of that line.

So as I have a easy repair on the moment, just a hose with some hose clamps (that works) how do you get to the front connection? Roel

This is tricky to reach. I have not had to do this to my TD5 yet, but a fellow club member has successfully removed the front connection by removing the inlet manifold. The rear connection is a lot easier.

A nuisance, I know, but probably a good opportunity to clean out the manifold at the same time. Also the EGR valve if it's still in place, plus the MAP sensor.

Cheers,

Thanks,

I am not sure anymore but I think I had the manifold off when changing the fuel pressure regulator. But still could not get to the front connection.
I have no egr anymore and I clean the MAP regularly. The intercooler and the manifold probably can use a clean again, however without the egr it is just oily not a thick layer of black ....

I am thinking off just carrying a spare piece off hose and some clamps as a back-up and replace the current hose every few years. That is a 10 minute job instead of putting an original part back on the engine. Roel
