I have this problem!! It's a nightmare!!  :angry:

So I have to take the wheel off?  And the wheelarch liner? and then hopefully switch 2 pipes around??  :undecided: :rolleyes:

take wheel arch liner off and check that there are no pipes trapped. check in the engine bay also, there is a black canister at the back left of the bay as you look at it from the front. there should be 3 pipes clipped onto the canister just check that the colours all match up (pipes to connectors)
