Default fuel pump+pressure screw prob.


This is for a S1.

I need to change my fuel pump, but i cant undo the nut on the metering head to release the fuel pressure.

is there any other way to do this?? otherwise the fuel will just spurt out when i undo the pump.

i need my fuel pump changed.......if i cant get the screw turned how much would a moblie mechanic charge to do the job????

Leave the ar for a few hours, then just undo at the pump. Juts have a rag handy, it won't release that much.

You reckon? same as running out of petrol......and not like the pump is running dry either, just relieves the pressure

Don't mean that - the relays always seem to go a bit tempremental.
