RedRocket 0 Posted October 11, 2004 I'm not prepared to pay the garage £45 an hour to do jobs that can be done at home. So can someone confirm whether an amature like myself, can replace the metering head on a 16v? Is it just a case of remove and replace? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olly elworthy 0 Posted October 12, 2004 yeap easy, just be carefull where all the pipes go, and make sure the engine is cold as when you undo the unions the fuel pressure retained in the fuel lines will spray a fine mist of fuel out for a short while,, suggest covering with a rag so it does not spray in your eyes,, also make sure you dont get any dirt in the metering heads!!

Henny 0 Posted October 12, 2004 it's also worth getting hold of a Golf or Passat Haynes manual to find out if there are any reccomended torques to tighten the bolts to... oh, and be VERY careful not to loose any of the copper washers else you'll have a fuel leak! :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
