Fuel Pressure Regulator

[marcus1970]

Hello all,

How much to buy one and how much to get it fitted?

Oh and where to get one?

Thanks as ever...

Fuel pressure regulator is off a volvo 480 I believe. About £35 in eurocarparts I seem to remember. Anyone want to correct me?

I'm pretty suer the FPR is a bosch unit that usually lives in volvos. I looked into changing my one and with a bit of trawling on the internet I managed to match up the bosch part number on my car to a volvo one (I think it was a 1.7 volvo 440/480). I never actually vhanged it in the end, as the rough running I was having at the time went away with a good balance of the t-pots. I shouldn't think it would be a bad job though- perhaps an hour all in? Just be sure to disconnect your battery when doing it, and to make sure your manifolds are nice and cool.
