Thread: VN fuel pump

Hi the only help I can give is, all feed back to me was only use Bosch more reliable and lasts longer, the Bosch should be $90.00 and I paid $110.00 as I needed it in a hurry. That was from "auto one" Albany I'm sure they are a dime a dozen, if you can't re use your original pipe you will need fully submersable hose $10.00 per 100 mm ....I've just put mine back together just then ..I have 150 mm hose left over which will be going in the banks safety deposit box :-) You dont need a plug kit with the bosch as it comes with a plug you just have to join the wire, if you look at my past posts on the pump the photos will show this ...the one with the blown hose pic, Hope this helps.

Called into Auto One to purchase a pump kit, the only one they had was GP branded one, the guy said they were the FuelMiser without the FuelMiser Name, (supposedly make them for FuelMiser).

Retail Price $99 on Special $73 and come with every thing you need including a piece of submersible hose (see attached pic of parts included).

I also got a seperate plug kit $9 as it will save me having to cut and join wires (see attached pic).

I think I have every thing to do the job now but I think I read in another thread that not all parts are used, so I have numbered them and if anyone can point out the numbers not needed that would be great.

Also if I need anything else a heads up would be great, other wise tomorrow is replacement day.

That piece of hose is too short for the LR unit. If your assembly still has the OEM hose you can carefully crush the old pump outlet in the hose and remove it piecemeal. Use two pieces of hardwood and a vice after you have removed the old pump and hose from the housing.

Changed the pump over this morning, all went according to plan, the only thing I know I did wrong was I put the filter on the wrong way, when I reseated the pump in position the long side of the filter was on the short side of the pump holder.

I didn't want to snap the filter clip so I left it as is, and just hope it dos'nt affect it long term???.

Interestingly I didn't have to change the origional plug as it was exactly the same as the one that came with the replacement and fitted straight into the new pump, I thought that it may have been replaced before, but I couldn't see where the plug had been joined - the pump that came out had the numbers 25165432 013-1-1 stamped on it.

As others have said getting the origional hose of the pump without destroying it was a bit of a hassle as I didn't have a vice as "bee utey" suggested, so what I done was used a chainsaw file and filed 2 grooves about 3/4 of the way through (top & bottom) from the inside of the old pump outlet, then put 2 small pieces of wood either side of the hose and crushed it (easily) with a pair of pliers and the broken bits of the plastic outlet virtually fell out with no damage to the (precious) hose.

Refitted and went for a 20min drive all appears good, so now at least I know if the problem continues I have at least eliminated the pump.

Couple of pics attached + have plenty more if anybody gets stuck and requires visual reassurance, just give me a yell & I will post them.
