Common rail connector

Featured Replies

Hi

I don't suppose anyone has a picture of where the common rail switch connector is located?

 

Thanks.

 



Which car/engine?

1.6 TDCi mk3?  The rail is behind the engine so not immediately easy to access.  If you're looking for the pressure sensor, I think it's nearside, will need to remove some stuff for access.

Literally just found it. Had to remove battery and housing. One problem I can't work out how to undo the connector

It's probably one of those where you have to slip a thin screwdriver down a small slit in the side, not 100% sure without a picture though.

Ah ok, just need to try and find something thinner, there isn't another way to separate them without breaking.

The clips is underneath right?

Is it this sort of clip?

Think so but can't get a proper look at it. That was the best pic I could get

Your pic didn't show up first time, sorry. 

Edit - On a second look, I think it is similar to that one, the tab needs pulling away from the plug slightly with a thin screwdriver.  Pushing the plug down first can make it a bit easier.  And go steady, those clips are a bugger for snapping!

Unfortunately that's just a reflection of the flash. Been trying for an hour to get this ***** thing off.

Yeah, I realised that and edited the post above, not quickly enough though lol.

Lol it's a pain.

 

It's been fitted upside down so difficult to get the the bit to push down

Not sure I can offer any more advice on that then lol...good luck!

One more question does the tab need pushing in or lifting up do you think

Thanks for your help
