Title: Diesel pump Q's - VX (but not omega)
Post by: Welung666 on 17 April 2009, 10:20:57

Looking at an Astra 1.7TD for SWMBO, guy says the fuel pump has gone. Are they hard to change/get hold of and are they pricey? Ta folks :y

its specialist work! timing a diesel injection pump is hard work itll be mechanical if its the isuzu 1.7 engine

there is a place in bridgenorth that refubs injection pumps for sensible money a friend recently got his transit di pump refurbed for £80

i dont knopw theyre number but i can ask my mate for it

If its the main FIP, then rather expensive. Walk away.

New, expect to part with several hundred quid, possibly a grand.  Then fitting and timing.

Thanks guys, I think I'll leave it too, seems like too much of a pain and expense. No wonder he only wanted £180 for a 2001 ;D Spotted another though with HG gone, that might be worth a dabble :y
