Thread: Td5 fuel pressure regulator megaleak.

The o'ring was still present in the head that holds in the extra little fuel filter, wasnt it before you fitted the new gasket and the Regulator?

Changed that oring over with a new one. (Its the chubby one in the kit)

If you were doing the work from above its possible you were tightening the very rear inlet manifold bolt instead of the bottom regulator block bolt, from above it feels like its the right bolt

dont ask me how I know

2 of us on the job. 1 under, 1 over.

My first thought was the bottom bolt, but it's the regulator capsule squirting out the relief hole. Hoses and housing are dry.


Which gasket is the update? Square or round hole?

sounds like a dud regulator then, was it one of those cheap ebay ones, mine lasted about 1000klm and had to be swapped for a genuine item.

Kit from ebay, from a fella on lr4x4 forum.

Went with that one because the genuine weren't even lasting that long. Typical britpart lucky dip.

Just a thought, try a Bosch 4 bar regulator,
or one of these

or

GENUINE BOSCH HOLDEN VS WH WK SUPERCHARGED STATESMAN FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR REG | eBay

if yr in a hurry the local ford or holden parts man might have one
its what I'll be trying next time.

Cheers, we're on our way to do that now.

2 great minds think alike.
