Any tips before i tackle the job??

Any special tools?

I already have the access hike in the floor...and a new VDO Pump.

...be careful taking the fuel line fittings off.....soft hands/fingers , they may be brittle after 18yrs.

Make sure the electrical connectors click together. There can be minor variations & the one I once did vibrated apart after 6 weeks as it needed a minor filing.

Make sure you keep the box it came in if it is faulty. Like mine was.[emoji30]

There is a tool to undo it which you may need if it is tight. I have one here I bought for the D2 if you need to borrow it.

Thank you....that’s the reason I asked the question.

That's the one.

Yes I am on the Southside, near Capalaba about 10 minutes off the gateway. I don't think it's that far south :)

I need to try and get to Kallangur next weekend, so if I do, I could stop in if you like.
