How Easy Is It To Change The Fuel Pump?

[CTI STU 0]

As above, also where is it? silly question I know!

Easy enough - about a 10-15 minute job start to finish.

 

It's located under the drivers side rear seat in the top of the tank.

 

However, are you sure it's the pump? They're normally pretty reliable, whereas the fuel pump (tachymetric) relay that powers it is not.

Remove the pipes and wiring plug, unscrew the ring thing that secures it into the tank, and remove upwards and out of the tank.

 

No need to drop the tank or anything like that.

 

A standard 205 GTi fuel pump supplies more than enough fuel flow for an Mi16 conversion usually.

On your car it should be under the dash near the ECU - it's a black relay with something like 7 or 8 pins from memory.

 

They're not too expensive new from a motorfactor, or a good used one is even cheaper. Easy to test with a multimeter though to establish if it's the problem.
