TomsFocus Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Probably clic-r clamps. You can pop them open with a screwdriver and close them with pliers. There is a specific clic-r clamp removal tool which make the job much easier but they're not cheap. You could also replace them with jubilee clamps instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug F Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Thanx tom will get a couple of jubilees before I remove them so not stuck half way thru the job.doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHead1979 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Having only had Ford engines that used jubilee clips i.e. Fiesta 1.25 and Focus 1.8 TDCi, I'll admit there were a few swear words when I had to do a couple of jobs under the bonnet on my father in law's MK2.5 1.6 TDCi. Give me "normal" old jubilee clamps any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you there, most of them seem to seem to be Jubillee clips on mine; the first time I came across one was when I took the EGR off for a clean. Got the flipin thing off, but had to borrow a neighbours set of pliers and get him to show me how to get the thing back on 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
