Sean. Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hello, I've got a leak at one end of the fuel cooler on the TD5 2003. I've got the rubber gasket to replaxe it BS225. What I am having trouble with is how do I get the bracket off and back on again? The clip on the cooler, not the coolant pipe. I have the pipe clamp thing to get that off. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I thought those clamps were single use, but you may be able to remove and refit them, but it's going to be fiddly! You could use jubilee clips as an alternative. For ease repair you could remove the cooler entirely so you can have a look at it on the bench.

Sean. Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know what these clapms are called? I'm looking at getting some jubilee clips, as well. I just try where I can keep things original and OEM. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 One brand I know of is oetiker clip. Most of these style clips need a special tool to fit them as you crush a tab to clamp it on hence why they are only really single use. The factory would use an electronic tool to apply the same force to tighten the clamp. Jubilee clips would work well as at least you know they are tight!
