Andy J Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi, in juat diubg ny first service of my TD5, i got to the fuel filter behind the rear nearside wheel and discovered that it didnt have a host of electronic connectors attached to the bottom (as per the pictures in the tech archive). Is this normal for some models of TD5's or have they been removed/hidden (what do they do anyway)? I replaced the filter anyway, no obvious problems - just curious as to what is missing. If it is just additional and unnecessary complexity then im not bothered :-) Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K88 MUD Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 There should be a water sensor in the bottom of the filter and a multi plug in the bottom of that. Some break them when changing the filters so just leave out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally V8 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Later TD5's had the water sensor deleted,I had an 03 Disco in for a service yesterday and it didnt have one,cant remember when they dropped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - mine is an 04 model so would fit with this. It doesnt look as if there are any severed connections anywhere either, just struck me as a bit odd.

BogMonster Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I think they did away with it because it was sh&te and the main function of the warning light was to indicate that the sensor was broken and needed changing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilTD5 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Interesting Topic. The Water sensor lamp on my td5 comes on briefly occasionally. Presumably I shouldnt worry too much if they later deleted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 It spent all its time crying wolf for no reason. Rule one of warning lights and gauges is that they must not do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
