Default Fuel pump
Just bought a s/h 92 model 2L 100 estate. The fuel pump is VERY noisey when running. How easy is it to change. Are all pumps the same or if you get one from ebay scrap yard etc do you need to get an exact match.

Default Do not put a used fuel pump in your car. You will regret it, your car will hate you for it
and punish you by way of the fuel pump dying when it is '0' degrees outside and you are on a highway 200 miles from home. A new pump is less than $150.00 from most online shops.

Default You forgot "with a full tank" - lol
If the fuel pump dies, the tank is _always_ full to the absolute top

Default Re: Fuel pump
Try replacing the fuel filter first. I replaced mine and the pimp noise stopped. I think that a dirty fuel filter causes the pump to work harder
