Hi folks, does anyone know if this is the correct fuel pressure regulator for a late 2.9 S3 with alloy fuel rail??

Any tips of where to track down a standard one? Having issues finding one from the part number in the alternative parts list.

Thanks John, ordered one of them and it's on the way. Unfortunately my S is off the road with a mysterious rough running problem at the moment which has resulted in an AA recovery the last two times it has been out so it's now with Lee Boreham in Kidlington to try and get better. This regulator might help rule one more thing out, and if not, it shouldn't need a new one for another 25 years!

Definitely up for a run out when I'm up and going again though.

Hi all, reinvigorating this one as the one I ordered apparently doesn't fit as the vacuum pipe comes off the bottom rather than off the side. Anyone know where I can track down one the same as the one currently on it with lines that come off the side??

No, I believe it looks like the one pictured however, the guy fitting it (who is significantly more knowledgeable than me), said that my 'original' doesn't have the pipe coming off the bottom, but rather off to the side which prevents it being fitted as per what is currently on there. I'll see if I can upload a picture of the original, but only have one from above.

I can't see the polish link that you refer to, but I do have the Alloy fuel rail, so it must be a difference between the two. I'm after one that looks like this (unfortunately this one doesn't say which pressure it is)...

Lee can use the other one I ordered on an S2 he's working on, so ordering the other part isn't a problem and was worth a crack. Now just need to track down the correct one to ensure that it isn't the cause of the rough running that is stumping us!

Yip, that looks more like it - just need to track one down now!
