Nice. Do you feel much of a difference after changing the fuel filter and diverter valve?

Oil and filter change. I used liqimoly stuff for a change.
skkane:
Had a bad LPFP that was dropping to 2.5 bars when hot, cutting power suddently... felt really bad and dangerous. It was an italian Meat & Doria...:fighting: Got a new VDO Continental unit and also changed the fuel filter and that HPFP pressure senzor. Car runs smooth as silk now.

I'm not sure the diverter valve is making any difference as the C revision I took off looked in perfect condition inside. The fuel filter though has improved throttle response and the car feels very smooth accelerating now, was a bit fiddly to get off but a small allen key using it as a hook did the trick for larger hose. Definitely worth the effort, I just did it when the front of the car was on axle stands for the oil change.
