Hard to start - Leaky Injector(s)?

[snicklefritz]

I checked eBay and there are a few listings for different regs that claim to fit my ute, but none of them look like the one i’ve got which is why I was hesitant to order one.

Edit: autolinkonline appears to have one that looks suitable, I placed an order. Hopefully they actually have stock.

eBay order was cancelled, they said these are no longer available.

It seems so odd that nobody makes a fuel reg for this anymore.

surly the VT VX basically all the emotech motors should be pretty much the same pressure reg.....

Unfortunately they’re not, the reg on my series 3 ute is removable whereas VT onwards it’s fixed to the fuel rail.

Get a VT/VX fuel rail?

Had a quick look around and they are both removable but the VT/VX one has a clip that holds the gusts in the housing,the removable one looks like the VR one..Nfi if the above is right..Just pop down to your local auto parts supplier and see what they have listed....The VR one is still available The VS one has to be.....

I already tried Supercheap, Sparesbox, Coventries and just got back from Repco. I took my old fuel reg with me to check if they maybe had anything with a similar fitting. The only thing they could come up was a reg made by premier (PAT) but there was no stock anywhere in the country. The VR and VT regs are clearly different to what I have.

They’re going to make a few calls and get back to me tomorrow. If no luck, they suggest my only real option would be wreckers or as I previously thought a universal part and a fabricated adapter.

post a pic of your current reg maybe someone may know of an alternative.....

I have attached a couple of photos, hopefully it worked. The fuel return line does not appear to be removable from the regulator without damage occurring.

Edit: the markings on the reg are as follows:

350KPa 966
0 280 160 552

Can't get in for some snaps of the one on my VS right now, but I have VR and VT pics below. The VR is removable like the VS where the VT is a different style attached to the rail. Looks like the clip is pulled out and the arse of the reg will come out.

First pic is VR and the other 2 are VT.
