G'day Paul,

Yes, I solved it by replacing the pump. According to my spreadsheet I currently have 33,049km on the new pump and haven't had a fuel related fault since.

I still have mine, and 2 of Ean's in a box to do a strip and inspect on when I get time. Unfortunately just after I replaced the pump in April 2019 I had a "change of personal circumstances" and everything went on the backburner. I'll get back to it one day.

I couldn't see a way to get the PCV out of an EU4 pump without removing the feed pump casing, and once I had it out I figured it was such a bitch of a job I didn't want to risk having to do it a second time, so I plonked $1550 down for a brand new pump with local warranty.

1 of those from me was working fine when removed from another engine , but yet wouldn't work when fitted as a replacement for mine which was faulting. 10hrs of labour to remove that pump which had just been fitted ,and fit a brand new pump hasn't seen mine fault either in a couple of years.

I'm guessing its not the pump but the valves that fault but unless someone has a full test rig that can run the pump remote of the engine to test replacement parts, it's just more economical to buy a replacement pump and swap it out, especially if you are paying labour rates close to or above $150/hr
