#1: Changing Fuel Pump, Any Tips? Author: sheehan879, Location: HitchinPosted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 7:49 am ---- After trying everything I finally took the car to the garage, apparantly its the fuel pump. They wanted 220 to fit a new one but GSF only want 82 including VAT so I will attempt it myself.
It seems easy from the Haynes manual, just wondering if anyone had any tips that has done it before.
Many thanks,
Jase

Only thing that gives grief is the seal around it.

I've never seen the metal plate actually installed from the factory, so I doubt yours has been replaced before.
