    Fuel Pump Service Life

    Out of curiosity I was wondering what is the typical life of the in tank fuel pump?

    What sort of kms have you got out of a pump before you replaced it?

    Cheers

    Steve

    Damn thats like a tank of petrol at best.
    I think you made the correct decision going for VDO in this case

    Mine was a bit premature at 220k. Replaced with genuine; 40k later and still ok.

    I replaced mine sometime about 210kk. Bought a non-genuine, which leaked at the hoses. Got it replaced by the supplier, which also leaked, so I made a franken-pump using the non-genuine actual pump, and placed it in the original housing. Has been going now for 70kk.

    Mine might be stuffed. So perhaps after 300k if not failed definitely on borrowed time. Allowing for my larger tyres mine is 300,000k in real terms. Cheers

    I see them last about that 10 - 15 years which in my book is a more than a exceptable service life.... put a VDO one in and go again...

    As apposed to the cheap ones that seem to last about 3 months

    Regards
    Daz
