How do you release the manual mirrors from the door card please? Fabia 1 2008 with electric windows.

MGRF That is very interesting. Yes I think it is the same pipe. When I removed that double plastic clip, the vibration of the pipes seemed to improve, therefore as it was starting to wear through the pipe, I intend to leave it off in future. It's reassuring that it seems to self prime and it doesn't sound as if you had any fault codes appear as a result of fuel pressure change whilst filling up, so many thanks for your assistance. I will attempt the job within the next few weeks and see how it goes.

It just says Fabia 3 TDI on the tailgate, so that's what I'm going by, definately 2010. Any news on whether it will self prime and / or will it bring up a fault code that I cannot clear please.

yes it's a 2010 Fabia3 1.4 Diesel TDI

The short flexible pipe from the filter to the tandem pump (at the pump end) is weeping at the joints and has been chafed over the years by a clipped-on support bracket for a water hose alongside it.. I have replaced the spring clips with jubilee clips and this has cured one end. The support bracket was not doing anything so I have removed that. I wish to get prepared before doing this job and want to know what problems I am likely to encounter. 1. I need to source reliable, quality pipe, any suggestions please. I am aware that there are some very good looking pipes about, even at dealers, that rapidly deteriorate and become dangerously brittle. 2. Will breaking into the system bring up a fault on the ecu that I cannot resolve ? 3. Having fitted a new pipe will the system self prime or do I need to bleed it somehow ? 4. Any other problems you think I might encounter please. It seems like a simple job, but I think the devil may be in the detail.
