fuel filter/pump rubber hoses
I need to replace these but cant find any info on them(part numbers and which ones are replaceable)
Ever since i changed my fuel filter the car has been weird on startup. It would hesitate for a second and it feels like i go through fuel twice as fast than i normally would. I have a feeling some of the hoses cracked while i was moving them around trying to get them off and on. First day after i replaced the filter the fuel dripped a bit in the back but i havent seen it after so i left it alone
If someone could point me towards a diagram or part numbers to all replaceable hoses down there i would really appreciate it

For a C43 and not a C36
Hose between the fuel pump and fuel filter A208 476 2126
Fuel tank to inlet of fuel pump A202 470 2475
Fuel filter to main line to engine A230 476 8726 (230mm, may be sold by meter)
Fuel filter return line to tank A208 476 1426
Make sure that if you aren't using the genuine "click" clamps that you are using "EFI' hose clamps that have a solid band around the hose. see pic, don't you a hose clamp that looks like the one on the right.
I would also suggest checking the rubber return hose that feeds into the Left hand fuel sender, I have seen a few of these leak.
I would also check the breather hose leading up to the filler neck (remove RHR wheel and inner wheel arch cover. I have had these perish on both of my W202's, whilst they will only leak liquid fuel with a very full tank, they will make you loose fuel without knowing where it went on really hot days.

Thanks so much for taking your time to provide this info
I went to the dealer yesterday and ordered the hose that connects the pump and the filter. Ill start with that and see how it goes.

The clamp on the left is usually only an OEM fitment because they are designed to clamp a particular size hose rather than a range of sizes. Basically as long as it has a smooth inner surface rather than the groove in the band contacting the hose like the one on the right they're fine to use.

I'm more a Bosch man for my plugs, even if I had NGK's on the engine the first time I got around changing the plugs 4 years ago. During the winter I'll be installing Bosch Double Platinum plugs #FR8DPP33X, together with some other things...

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I am replacing my fuel filter and pump on my 98 c43.
Does anyone know the exact size clamps I should be using?
From tank to pump the outside diameter of the line measures about 1 inch when I eyeball it with a tape measure.
The others are about 0.6 inch outside diameter.
Does that sound right?
Any links on the proper clamps would be amazing. I had a bunch of clamps lying around that I have used in the mean time but they are the ones that Ausmbtech says not to use in the photo above so I would like to use whatever is absolutely best to avoid future issues.

Wow, that is a great resource, thank you! While I have your help, are there other diagrams like that for the rest of the car? Wiring diagrams would be especially awesome. These resources are invaluable as I am trying to learn more about the car!

Looked around the pages for the C43 aka 202.033 on that site but didn't find a wiring diagram as one knows them. It does however give all the different electrical harnesses with the electrical parts that are attached to them. Happy hunting.
