I've got the workshop manual and certainly to "shows" the location of the sensor. I asked a tech at the main dealer and he said remove the fuel pump fuse, run the engine to remove fuel pressure and reach down behind the RH side of the engine and unscrew it....right.......

So, have any of you done this? Fortunately I can get my hand down there and can feel hoses, pipes, wires, etc. I can clearly see the fuel rail at the front of the engine BUT I can't really tell what I'm feeling in the rear and none really feels like what I'm looking for....

 

Never mind, I've found it after all, however it's a fairly tight squeeze, thinking a socket may be the answer. However I'm still trying to release the connector. I can feel a "squeeze tab" of sorts but it's not moving or at least I'm being cautious as I've broken harness connectors before which ended up costing more than if I'd just paid the main dealer in the first place. I was quoted 2 hours book time and it appears to be a 15 minute job.

 

replying to old post, Incase someone has the special technique to do it!

How were you able to remove sensor. I can not figure out how to get wrench or socket to it.

 

Is there a better way to get to the fuel rail sensor then laying on top of motor and trying to reach had down to it? I can’t figure out how to get wrench or socket on it!

 

First disconnect the connector, then you can fit a 27mm socket over it.
