2001 v70xc fuel line clip.

[Vova585]

Finally got time for my 01 and wanted to replace fuel filter. Unfortunately my retainer clips are no longer holding. On quick search I was able to find that delivery line from pump to filter is available to order. No info on connector from filter towards engine. Anyone was able to figure out if dorman or some other amazon seller offers replacement clips that can be just changed without line replacement?
Ziptie method is not OK for me.
Thank you for your wisdom in advance.

Addendum: out of stubbornness i revisited the clips. With the help of small screwdriver I bent clips slightly, so with the brake parts cleaner nozzle was able to reach to tight parts and clean all rust and grime. Gently pushed the clips outward on each side and attempted mating it to the filter. It worked. I am still so-so about this and would be watching this area closely. However, if someone knows where to source those retainer clips, i would be very thankful. I have a feeling that in case of any issues, dealer would be replacing those connectors entirely with dorman plastic fuel line kit connectors or similar. Might bring donuts to my local dealer and ask for their input.

The clips get a build up of dust/dirt in them which makes the mechanism difficult to deal with. It prevents the connector from disconnecting and also reconnecting properly.

I think Abscate for a connector that may work on his P80 thread on his first AWD car. I believe it was a S70 AWD maybe 2-3 years ago.

Cleaning out with brake cleaner of carb cleaner should help.

If you get it working again, may be worth trying to use tape around the connection to try to keep dirt out for the future.
