My Saxo has developed an air leak through the fuel warmer thermostat in the fuel filter housing top.
For a crisis repair, I found that Blue Hermetite is my friend. In the longer term, I note that the white plastic insert (and more to the point, the O ring) are not available as replacement parts for the Saxo TUD5.
Does anyone have sufficient experience of these to know if the insert (and O ring ) are the same as the Xantia (XUD9) heated housing??

Re: Saxo diesel, fuel filter housing, air ingress
I don't think they are the same. I cannot reference it as there's no part listed for the TUD5 separately (checked 106's both shapes too, I don't have Citroën specific data however its the same unit)
I wonder if its worth getting one from the scrapyard and / or finding a suitable o-ring or two from a factor ?

I shall be chasing the scrapyard route once I've got the Synergie brakes sorted and MOT'd.
Was only wondering, because there is a wealth of experience on this (and another ) forum re modifying the XUD9 type for WVO.
Never mind. Looks like a cold wet Sat am down the tat yard then.
