Hi,
Right, have been putting this off too long, main fuel pump still very noisy, and now think it's point of no return to pull the in tank pump/ sender unit.
Had seen a possible other cause was fuel pressure regulator, haven't got a pressure tester, but as some on US forums had posted, a quick check was to pull the vacuum line to see if any petrol or fumes, dry as a bone and no smell of fuel, bugger!!
Contacted FRF for price for genuine in tank pump and filter sock, gasket and locking ring - emailed me back, and almost fell off my chair at north of £470+. ......
As Dave had suggested earlier in the post, Airtex one on order from Rock Auto, this along with filter sock + Bosch main pump as well including carriage £115, should be here next week🤞 As main pump been straining, it's bound to go soon.
How good a deal this will be, remains to be seen, knowing my luck I've probably ordered the wrong pumps.
I want to minimise risk of getting into the job and not having a small item needed, so would like some suggestions on additional parts to get -:
1. Seen mentions that hoses on the top of tank are differing sizes, would like to get stainless hose clamps to replace all that are on there, what sizes will I need please?
2. Possible the length of hose from in tank pump to tank outlet may have a split, what size fuel hose is this? I realise it needs to be R10 rated for submersion.
3. Obviously will pull negative lead from battery before doing anything, does this mess up anything else, ECU etc, standard radio I have the code for I think, but have a new head unit ready to go in when I get a moment.
I think with Daves advice earlier in post I should be able to sort this issue, any other pointers anyone may have would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Steve
