Replacing fuel pump on Td5 90
Researching the forum it seems VDO make the recommended replacement fuel pump which I can find for about 190 quid +VAT... my question though is which/how many seals do I need to purchase/replace as there seem to be 3 or 4 different alternatives...

Are there any other jobs I should do at the same time, e.g. fuel filter etc.?

Thanks

Stig

replace the sealing ring on the pump

be gentle with the pipe clips when you take them off,you can buy a tool to help remove them.

clean and vac any debris off before you start removing the old one

the pump securing ring i often corroded,there is a plastic and metal one available

fuel filter makes sense at the same time

if you dont want to drop the tank

you can use one of these to cut a hole on the flor looks neat and is easy to remove in future if you fit it with rivnuts

and finally make sure you get the correct pump as the depth of the pump varies with model

Clean and vacuum any debris on the top of tank - definitely yes. And for the rest apply a bit of WD40 and clean with a rag. WD40 (or another thin oil) will stick the rest debris and lower their chance to fall down into the tank. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "BlufĂ­nek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile
