Fuel pump fitting

[Jim 4205]

Hi all, I am about to fit a new fuel pump as the old one has a loud wine but I dont know whear it is so before I start pulling the car to bits I would ask if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks

Don't forget to de-pressurize the system 1st or you may get an eye full of fuel(not nice)or worse just pull off one of the terminals and start the car till it dies

I changed the filter and pump recently. Not to bad a job but I would reccomend get the car up on axel stands and take the passenger rear wheel off. Also I used a couple of brake pipe clamps to clamp the fuel pipe up. First thing is disconnect the battery! I got a bosch fuel pump and filter from local motor parts place, filter coopers FIG7002 £7 and Bosch 0580464008 £88.50 all plus VAT! The connectors were spades on the original pump and spade on the one that came but I just bolted the spades on over the connectors that were on the pump, or you can just switch them over. Then when fitting good to break your arm in a couple of places to get through to the filter, the pump is the easy bit!

If you dont jack the car up often its a good time to have a look around at the suspension, diff and gear box etc, if you jack the front up as well, when was the last time you changed the 100 amp fuse as only 2 min job.

Good luck!
