    Thanks for the video! Gave me confidence not to shorten the aux port outlet as others have suggested. Also, I wondered why you didn't just thread the 2mm fuel line down through the existing aux ribbed tubing, eliminating the need to remove the sending unit at all. Then I discovered you can't pass it through because it catches on the ribs. In case anyone else was hoping to try that. 😂

    Thank you for showing this. The B5WS in the volvo needs a cleaning after 8 years of service. The heater itself is mounted in the factory on the engine firewall, before they put the engine block in, access is pita... wish me luck trying to extract the unit.

      🔴 Good luck with that! Car makers sometimes place heaters in very inconvenient positions, it took me a while to learn how to uninstall that thing from a Ford Tourneo Connect.

      🔴 Eight years -- it's very good! I have to service my D4WS every other year.

      @@ilsavv I think the difference is that mine is B, so it runs on petrol. I assume it produce less soot than the D variant.
