Wanted 16v fuel pressure regulator

Hi All,
I bought a used regulator only to find it is corroded on the casing and is leaking fuel, not ideal.

If anyone has a good one leaking in their shed/loft please let me know
Many thanks

Re: Crank sensor location

Hi Vanny, thanks again, All replaced now, I think Dave_16v has possibly found a problem, the fuel delivery to the fuel rail has been incorrect since I got the car, someone had obviously had a look prior to me taking over and the fuel supply pipe enters at the regulator end which is incorrect. I will...

Re: Red Mk1 16v

Hi Mike, I can confirm it is the same. Does anyone have knowledge of this vehicle at all? Apart from the knobby number plate it appears in pretty solid condition. :wink:
