Hi any hints and tips much appreciated. Trying to fit the main fuel pump into the undercar housing. It is a 1988 mk2 16v gone for one of the pro alloy housing as found original has been bodged multiple times and couldn’t source a decent original,ones I am struggling with fitting the o ring. I believe that the o ring is place above the flange on the pump housing. However the o ring does not want to go down into the housing far enough to enable the plastic retaining clip to sit flush with the housing. I have tried grease on the o ring and gradually tighting each of the three retaining screws to get the retaining clip to push down the o ring . There is a slightly narrower diameter above the reservoir surface which I believe is where the o ring should sit and I am struggling to manoeuvre it into that so looks like o ring sitting to high? I am wondering if I have got order of installation wrong. I am putting strainer in first then pump with o ring over top flange on pump at electrics end so that retaining ring can hold down.Any experience would be much appreciated thanks
