She replied with "yes, the one for the coolant capsules?" Of course, I told her no and told her it was for the fuel pressure regulator. She said it'* only a 15 minute fix for the fuel pressure regulator.
BUT...What recall is there for "coolant capsules"?? Sounds fishy to me! Is that a make-shift fix for something related to the upper intakes?

I got a recall letter too, but the dealership replaced the FPR when they did the UIM in 02.
I pulled the vac hose to check it anyway, no gas came out so I figure it'* good.

I got the regulator recall taken care of today. Oddly enough, they only serviced the car for about 15 minutes. I was very surprised.
Curious, I looked under the hood for what they changed and can't seem to find a shiney, new part. So, where is the fuel pressure regulator located exactly? I followed the fuel lines from the firewall to the fuel rail and didn't come across anything that looks like a diaphram. Anyone got a pic of one?
