quicker stop solenoid removal on the 200tdi

[Tal]

I had a dodgy stop solenoid a year or so ago so having bought a spare realised how huge a job it would be to take the pump and pipework off to get to it.

Instead of all that I modified a 24mm spanner by grinding down the outside of the jaws. now all I do is take the small electrical contact nut off then slowly undo the solenoid without ever needing to touch the pipework.

It makes the job take about 20 minutes instead of well I don't know how long because I've never needed to do it the long way

if i remember correctly the slimmer jaw goes toward the engine.

hope it saves some time
