Thread: British motor imports

Ive tried a few cheap one's but never had any luck, becoming noisy after short time so went for genuine vdo pump only A2C59511614
its a bit fiddly to remove from housing but if you take your time and dont force the plastic retainers etc its all good

I haven't had to replace mine, but I did repair it. Not the pump itself, but the housing it sits in. Bit of a PITA to get back in but ok

Never heard anything good about the cheap ones you can get, everyone is like T_T and ends up with the VDO or Siemens. But who knows? You might get lucky.

I'll second that (or is it 3rd that), my experience from years ago anything other than VDO soon becomes noisy.

Thank you everyone for the replies, looks like its the better quality pump.
Once again thank you.
Best car forum going 🤙🏽

The cheap ones are good for the level sender, wasn't about to replace an otherwise working pump with an exxy vdo one and while you can get the sender separately it was twice the price of the cheapest pump I could find.

Fair enough. That's why I rebuilt the frame part on mine. Pump itself is still working.

Not a big deal but a PITA.

Pump became noisy and the fuel gauge was all over the place. I have no idea how it broke.
