So after the dreaded P0087 message has become an almost daily occurence I assume it's time to replace the HPFP, not surprising at around 93K miles, it's done well (THP 200 Petrol). I feel I have enough experience to attempt to do it myself and I've watched a few guides but I have a few questions and if anyone could help I'd be most appreciative:
Any other gotchas I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance!
- Any other tools needed apart from:
- 12mm spanner for high pressure line
- T30 torx for the HPFP bolts
- Torque wrench + crows foot for HP line reinstallation
- I've seen it mentioned that the battery will need removing in order to get the pump out, is this true and is there a guide for how to do this as I've heard it's not as simple as on many cars?
- I've found the guy on ebay who reconditions the pumps, but it says it's for "1.6 THP 150,156,175BHP Turbo engines" - will this also be OK for the THP 200? I also see there are other "new" pumps on ebay around the £150 mark, I assume these will be dodgy Chinese versions that I should avoid?
Any other gotchas I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance!
