Hi,

Does anyone know of a "How To Guide" for Fitting a 3 bar FPR to a 16VT

Ive looked but can only find a 20VT one.

Any help of advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Ian

its a nightmare!!!

changed on without taken the inlet manifold off took 3hrs

then next time i took the inlet off and you can get straight to it took just over a hr, Im sure thers a guide to remove the inlet then just flip the clip off and swap the fpr and replace the clip and also replace the vac hose while your there

The best way to do it IMO....

Remove inlet pipework including the ICV (runs to the right of the engine),

You should then have easy access to the throttle body. Youll need to remove the coolant pipes and throttle cable. Once youve done this you can remove the 4 allen key bolts holding the throttle body on, I think they are 5mm.

Once the throttle body is removed you should just about be able to see the FPR on the end of the fuel rail. Its held on with a triangular sprung piece of steel (I think). Its really fiddly, but all you have to do is lever the securing triangle off of the FPR and replace with the 3 bar FPR, then refit the securing triangle and refit everything youve removed.

I would say I could do it now easily within an hour.

Hope this helps.

might wanna get yaself a spare triangular clip as i believe they are really easy to break when prizing off!

I wrote this 16VT injector fitting guide a while back. Follow this to get to the injector rail and FPR. No need to dsturb the coolant hose running throught throttle body:
