Citroen C3 1.6 HDi fuel line broken part - what is it?
Hey folks, after replacing the timing belt on my wife's C3 I noticed a loose connection in one of the fuel lines adjacent to the engine mount - I clearly knocked it during replacement and appear to have broken or dislodged the nozzle that the clip goes onto. I'm really not sure what this part is so I've struggled to search for it. Appreciate any insights.

It looks to be a right angle fuel pipe connector. I suspect you will need to get a new one from a Citroen dealer.

The connector has 3 connections, one from the leak off connectors, one to (I assume) the return fuel line and one that I don't know where it goes. If not for that 3rd connector I'd just grab a generic connector or see if the leak off loom male would connect directly to the return. There are so many ""similar" but not the same options on eBay but I can not find one of these. I've sent pics to my local Citroen dealer and a parts specialist - just have to wait and see. I did ask this on another forum and was pointed to a previous post with the exact same unit, exact same model, exact same break. No answer in 3 years
