Thread: Replacement fuel pumps research

I don't know what brands are better quality but the Bosch you refer to in the other thread was only $106 from memory.

I just had a look at the old post.
Its by HAL and is titled V8 Discovery Fuel Pump Problem.
The Bosch pump reported was F000TE1772 an di checked the price on Gimme Auto parts, who are usually cheap at $132.33 plus freight.
I have not found this cross reference anywhere.
I mght buy an Ebay one as a spare.

That Bosch part number sounds right. I rang Bosch to find a local supplier and was told

Repco
Coventry
Bursons (??)

As per the thread you refer to Repco was $106 and Coventry $110.

However the Bosch guy also said that Bosch did not set a RRP so the supplier can charge whatever they like.

There is a huge variation in the quality of products pouring in from China. If they are manufacturing to a quality company's specs. e.g. Bosch; then the quality is tops. If they are just making a rip-off copy to flood the El Cheapo retailers then they make some absolute crap. In my personal experience it is worth a few bucks extra to get a recognisable brand name on the box even if it is made in the same factory as the Lucky Dragon brand fuel pump. I do love the Chinglish instructions though, like 'Please make sure that all the hoses are friendly and that the volts run one way'.

Hi All

I notice these refer to the classic models, has any one

done any research on what will fit a P38....mates pump

has just started to play up

Also are these in the tank or can you plumb them in

external, the vn and Bosh ones for the classics's that is

Thanks

Tony

They appear to be talking about the P38 pump here and this is the same pump.

The replacement pump sits in the carrier inside the tank. So you have some pulling apart etc to do but it is very simple.

Yes the P38 pump appears similar to the RRC 3.9.
The number is 10 different.
Mine is A1474-1 and the p38 is A1484-1.
But the pump seems physically the same, the retention collar at the bottom looks the same, the input filter looks the same., and the position of the inlet looks the same.
The P38 appears to have a bleed pipe from the outlet of the pump to the fuel return .
The yanks did away with this with no apparent problems.
I took a few photos today if anyone wants me to email them.
