yes, its VERY easy, just two or three bolts secuting it to the head and a single vacuum pipe off the top of it.lube the o-ring with a little engine oil before you fit the replacement, shouldn't take you any more than 5 minutes. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Your best opening up your replacement and check it for shrapnel - if your knocking noise is a loud tapping/rattling noise then it will be that the flimsy little piece of tin that sits on the end of the drive gear needs its ears bending back a touch - did this on mine and almost completley shut it up  ________________________________________ Cad Monkey will work for chocolate biscuits....I'm not kidding |
