I have no rear washer.

I do have headlight washers.

But googling jumpy windscreen washer makes the one with the green connector come up.

Checking eper  at the fiat forum, I can't really tell if there is one or two pumps. It's only one switch in the car for both washers as I think it's the same pump.

I found an identical pump (with the green connector) at a Swedish aftermarket car parts store fitting a 90s Volvo. I think I'll try it out. Right now my front is still off, so its need to fix it to be able to drive the car. (Too lazy to put it back and then off again)

now they're all changed.

It was way easier than I anticipated, the Internet can really wind you up.

As for the one behind the injection pump, I borrowed a key from a neighbour, don't know what the English name is but it looks like this. Worked like a charm.

The second from left I used a straight key, and the two right ones I used an extender and a long socket. I had the fuel filter emoved but I don't think it really mattered.

I have soaked the plugs in WD 40 two times a day since a week back, as I'm commuting with the van.

All my white smoke upon starting is now gone and it starts much easier.

Ive now fitted it as priming pump-> fuel filter inlet (bottom connection) and the fuel filter outlet (top connection) to injection pump.

Right or wrong, it does work.

I don't think the primer pump should be between the filter and injector.

@KenBw: you have the same motor, don't ya? Can you double check?

Ive driven around 20km with it with this setup. If I've connected it wrong surely it wouldn't run...

Two out of four changed!

Went better than expected. Almost shat myself on the second one as I thought I snapped it, but it was just coming loose.

Tomorrow I'll give a try with the two on the left.

Yes I've read that they could be at risk of snapping.

Ive started to treat them with WD-40 and rust removal today. Still waiting for the plugs.

Should be easier if the motor os warm when changing as well. (I.e. not running, but warm)

Ive seen some people put som kind of ceramic lubricant on the threads to keep them from sticking all too much. Have anyone had any experience from that and what product to use?

Updste:

Today i took some more pictures of the original fuel filter, dint know if I should post them here or in a new thread, seems I'm opening lots of threads.

I also took some pictures of the glow plugs. Here they are

The glow plugs are marked in blue.

As you said kenbw2, the two on the right seems easy enough, the two on the left, behind the fuel pump, seems a bit tougher - though I think its doable without removing the pump.

Regarding the harness, is there any reason to change it or just brush the connectors with a brass brush, what could be wrong with it??? Its just cables and connectors

Also, Read somewhere to not only wait for the glow lamp to go off but to wait until the relay clicks, about 20-30 secs after the light goes off and it makes such a difference in staring the van. Waiting 30 seconds starts it right up. This would suggest bad glow plugs, or am I misinterpreting my van?

Yes. I checked the owners guide I found on the download page and it says that the filter is the red circled one as well.

In the owners guide they have the oil filler up where the inline filter is...

But as I have no water drainage from the inline filter, wouldn't that explain my white smoke?

I'll try to use the original filter.

But then I'll need to change the tubing...

Don't think my 98 is equipped with that. But it crossed my mind as well...

Wikipedia has a pretty good overview. I'll try to find the link later
