The part number on my 4.5 fuel pump is 0 580 254 957. I'm starting to think about carrying a spare, but don't fancy paying £100 for a Bosch 0 580 254 909, which apparently replaces the 957. So how about the Sytec pump for £50?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401086656530

SPEC:
Voltage - 12
Inlet - 12mm push on
Outlet - standard bosch 12x1.5mm banjo stub
Flow rate (max) - 280ltr/hr
Flow rate @ 3bar - 210ltr/hr
Flow rate @ 5bar - 186ltr/hr
Max pressure - 10bar
Location to tank - 0.6m (gravity fed)
Length - 175mm
Diameter - 58mm

But "This pump is suitable for most turbo/non turbo petrol fuel injection systems up to approx. 300bhp"


Also, are there any more elegant brackets that fit our cars? Can't fault it for lightness though.

Part of my bracket broke off. Might have just been the bolt but can't remember. So my pump is held on with cable ties. Nothing has ever been said at MOT's etc so guess it's ok.

Paul,

I read your post on injector cleaning and noticed that they supply a replacement for the Bosch 044 which I was considering for my rebuild.

As far as the bracket is concerned, I am thinking about using one of these

I would be wary of fitting a Bosch 044 without upgrading the power supply, the 044 is about 13A, whereas the OEM unit is more like 8A.

What fuel pumps are others using?

Perhaps I should pick up a used 957 off the bay for £25 and carry that with me.
