Is this a hard job

[stuse30]

Hello people, could any one help,i have a 90 1.8i and i need to change a fuel pipe that is located just under the manifold, its about 1.5 inch long but very fiddely to get to. Is this an easy job and any advise please

It's quite easy, just unbolt the manifold, lift it off gently (make sure you're not ragging the gasket to pieces and you'll be able to see what wires/pipes need disconnecting), once out, replace the bit's of pipe you need (might as well do both whilst your in there).

The only advice I would give is make sure nothing drops into the manifold once you have it split, such as a socket

That's half the inlet manifold, not the whole thing!

do i not have to do anything with where the air feed connects to the manifold? it looks like it stops it from lifting off.

Yes, you have to remove the rubber boot, and I'm sure there's a couple of other bits, but it's all obvious once you get started as I recall.

It's easier to do it than explain it

I've gotta do this aswell i think, is it the metal pipe thats a couple of mm thick that, if you were sat in the car, would come from the passenger side and run under the inlet plenum? If so, i think mine has cracked as under choke, it tends to drip a bit which makes the whole car stink of fuel!

Let us know how you get on dude and how easy it is!

Good luck!
