Dorsetfreelander Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hello, I have a TD4 SE 2004 reg 84K miles. I was checking it over today prior to the MOT and had the rear driver's side wheel off checking the rear brake shoes and noticed a wire hanging down behind the wheel arch cover. I removed the wheel arch cover to expose what you can see in the image below. Does anyone know what this wire is for? The connector still has the remains of a rusty spade terminal in it but I can't see where it came from. The car seems to run OK and there are no warning lights on. Thanks.

I THINK, but not 100% certain that itconnects to the body of the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsetfreelander Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks for that, just for clarity can you have a look at this image? I assume that we are talking about the item ringed in red. Are there two pumps in a TD4? I understand that there is one in the fuel tank already. Also what would I order if I wanted a replacement, I can't see anything that looks like this on any of the ebay suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggNChips Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes, the square cutout in the black plastic should have a male spade terminal. They're really bad for corroding and becoming detached. Think mine was the same, but I repaired it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
