leakoff pipe acess !

[froggy]

Hi, I have just been trying to fit a new leakoff pipe, on my 1997 XANTIA. The pipe appears to go from the pump to the side of the injector [ furthest left ] My question is; acess is poor there is a hard plastic pipe [ air intake to turbo] inthe way. can I move it? Plus the inner diameter of the new pipe seems too small or is it supposedto be megga tight? many thanks Terry.

Hi Terry, yes, if you loosen the hard plastic turbo pipes at their securing points and disconnect their rubber pipes at the jubilee clips, they will move quite a way to give access.

Yep, the leakoff hose is a tight fit as it relies on only that for sealing... Also, replace the end blanking cap on No.1 injector but those you get in some kits are of questionable quality. I used to take a piece of normal leakoff pipe, bend it in two at the end and wrap a large cable-tie around it. That made a very effective blanking cap that was long-lasting and very cheap as it used up some surplus pipe...

Thanks again Jim.
