Re: fuel pump

Hi I think your pump is the same as fitted to the Mercedes Sprinter van engine..if so GBP 800 "over "the counter exchange" .....check your fuel tank for "fossil fuel sludge" and fit new fuel filters... sometimes the pump cannot get the correct volume of fuel to work efficiently at high revs....

Re: fuel pump

thanks for the tip i am on it i stripped radiator , intercooler , air intake for cleaning the word "filth' is not even close to describe the condition,next in line is to swap rubber brakelines with braided(steel) goodridge type and of course the fuel line & filters :lol: getting there slow and steady.
the pump was out of timing, car started :lol: :lol:

Re: fuel pump

From where you will get the steel brake lines?
Any idea concerning the price?
