1. Release the fastener (A2) and remove the cover and the joint (A3) from the top of the fuel lift pump (A4). Remove the gauze strainer (A1). On some turbocharged engines, it will be necessary to remove the small heat shield which is fitted above the pump.
2. Wash carefully all of the sediment from the lift pump body.
3. Clean the gauze strainer, the joint and the cover.
4. Assemble the lift pump. Use a good joint and ensure that the lift pump body and the cover are fitted together correctly because leakage at this point will let air into the fuel system. Fit the heat shield, if one is fitted.
