What you show above is the high pressure fuel lines from the injection pump to the injectors.

Do you mean you want to remove the injection pump? Its a bit more involving to remove the injection pump, as you would need to remove the timing belt.

The lift pump is more towards the rear of the engine block, still drivers side, and it only has 2 lines, an In and an Out.

I won't be removing the injection pump, but I plan to change its O-ring during the next service.

Anyway, I'll remove the high-pressure fuel lines too, to replace the oil filter housing gasket.

As long as no fuel comes out when removing the fuel lift pump, it should be an easy job.

Thanks Bro

Oh I see, so I'll need to bleed the fuel system after that?

thank you

Hi Bro Dinnu, today, when I change my engine oil and want to open the oil filter housing bolts to change the gasket, my question is: do I only need to remove two bolts, or is there a third bolt as well?

When I removed two bolts, it was quite difficult to take off the oil filter housing. I suspect my mechanic might have used RTV silicone without the gasket the last time.

I'm saying this because for both my fuel lift pump and its mounting, as well as the brake vacuum (which has a triangular shape), they only used RTV silicone without a gasket.

That's why I've noticed minor leaks in those areas. Today, I managed to change the brake vacuum gasket, but I could only replace one gasket as the triangular metal part was difficult to remove.

thank you.

Note that if you take the high pressure fuel lines out, a small amount of fuel will come out from the injection pump.

Hi Bro Dinnu, I wanted to check with you about the fuel lines; they are only tightened by hand force, right?

I've noticed some minor fuel leaks from number 2 and number 3. Can I use PTFE tape to wrap the threads?

thanks

As far as I know, the high pressure pipes are flared, so no use of ptfe tape.

Hi bro, I wanted to confirm something about the TDI 200 turbocharger. Does it automatically receive oil from the engine oil to provide lubrication?

thank you.

Hey Dinnu, I need some advice. A few days ago, my clutch pedal cannot press to down at all, so I just forced it down, and it lost its elasticity. After some investigation, I discovered a leak at the bottom of the clutch slave pump (please refer to the attached photo).

My question is, is the issue solely related to the clutch slave pump, or could there be other underlying problems? I've already placed an order for a new clutch slave pump, and it's on its way for delivery.
