Hey guys, recently did my fuel reg on the VS. Turns out it wasnt the cause of my problem but starts on first turn now. Pretty happy.
I went to REPCO and picked myself up a Fuel reg, Fuel filter and some Vac line for $135
Part numbers:
Fuel reg: 0280160552 $171
Fuel filter: RFF-1 $17
Vac line: 27043 $5.70
Tools needed:
Stubby phillips head
Fuel hose disconnection kit ($13.50 from super ****)
Step 1:
Make sure you have everything as pictured below.
Step 2:
Depressurize the fuel line and disconnect the battery.
Step 3:
Locate the fuel pressure regulator. Drivers side rear of fuel rail.
Step 4:
Disconnect the vac line from the manifold and fuel pressure reg. Unscrew the phillips head that holds it in place and remove it. Spin the line up so its out of the way.
Step 5:
Use your fuel hose disconnection tool. Put it on the metal line then slide it into the fuel line and pull (gently) the fuel line off.
Step 6:
Now that the hose is off with the reg comes the hard part. If you can not pull the reg off id suggest geting a bucket of boiling water. Let it sit in there for a few mines to soften the plastic an pull it off.
Step 7:
Put your new fuel reg in the hose and make sure you put a hose clamp on it just to make sure its not going to burst off. Then install the hose back on the metal line buy just pushing it on. Then install the new fuel reg onto the rails and replace the vac line. I replaced my vac line because my original one deteriorated due to faulty reg and i was using the windscreen sprayer line. Before starting the car, put the new filter in and job done.
