I would say if you are bothering to check it then you may as well replace it.  :smiley:

Whats the purpose of lining up the arrows at the beginning of the DIY guide? I thought they were just for doing the timing belt etc and I'm not sure why that needs doing just to pull the fuel pump back?

I don't suppose anyone knows the torque setting for the bolt that hold the fuel pump to the engine? Gonna be doing this inn a few week and I wanna make sure I don't over tighten them.......which I have a habit of doing with my sausage fingers.

10nm is general setting for bolts of that nature

Just 'tight' without over tightening  :happy2:

On the US forums it's stated as 7.5 ft lbs...
Do not overtighten as you'll strip the threading...   :scared:
