Leak back line T pieces - diesel

freck · 16th December 2015, 16:38

I'm sure I read somewhere on here that you can get metal T pieces to replace the weak plastic ones. Does anyone know where from, I can't seem to find the reference.
Reason I ask is that I went to change my PCV filter today but couldn't get the housing off because the line was in the way but I didn't want to start taking it apart in case I broke one of the T pieces.

Any help or advice appreciated.

United diesel sell them http://www.uniteddiesel.co.uk/shop/i...-180-deg-brass might be cheaper elsewhere with a bit of searching.

Hi Steve.
Here you go I have replaced my FL1 and both my sons MGZT diesels, and my old tourer with the brass T joints, best £25 you can spend in my opinion, I did an how to also will try and find it cheers Arctic.

Steve no problem at all glad I helped, straight forward to change over if you want I can add the how to, on this thread later as I did it for the FL1 but engine layout is much the same with regards to the leak back hose pipe, joints.

Had a medium disaster yesterday. I was changing the pcv filter and (easily) managed to snap one of the T pieces on the leak back hose. In order to get the remains of the T piece out of the top of the injector does the securing clip just pull off or do you have to push it?
Will hopefully get some brass T pieces and an end piece from United Diesel early this week. Also do you happen to know the hose diameter please as I may as well replace this also, it is probably the age of the car. Year 2000.
Look forward to your reply. Many thanks.

Pete.

The clips just pull off Peter, they're just shaped to slot into the groove and hold on a detent.

You can get a kit on eBay too, with the t pieces and hose of the correct diameter. I think it was United Diesel I got my kit from via eBay.

Hello Steve
Many thanks for that, I will have a looky on Ebay. After 16 years the T pieces really are very fragile so brass ones should last the rest of the car's life.
It was certainly worth checking out the filter, mine resembled a piece of house brick only more dense!
Fortunately I am on holiday, (at home,) at the moment so I can live without the car for a few days. Just hope I don't break anything else!

Thanks again.

Pete.
