fuel pump almost dead???

[vn1989]

when my fuel pump primes before the car is started its really quite i can hardly hear it but after my car is running and i turn it off it still pumps for a little bit and its really loud it kinda sounds like its pumping nothing but i have over a quarter of a tank of fuel so i dont know if its about dead.... it also wouldnt hurt to change the pump and is it hard to do. do i just drop the tank out (i have a fair idea how) then undo the however many bolts afound the pump then put the new pump in? is that all to it? its also a series 1 vn so would it be any differant to the series 2?

If it hasn't played up at all I wouldn't bother.

But it's not a hard job. Shouldn't need to drop the tank to do it.

ohk thanks ill wait till it fully stops working

They're noisy things sometimes, if it stops on you somewhere, give the bottom of the tank a hit roundabouts in the middle on the bottom. This can usually get it going again to get you home. Then change it.

But it's up to you mate.

[vn1989]

yeah ill just wait till it dies its less effort now haha

i think mines on its way out too,, so you guys reckon they are pretty easy to change?

[Hangman]

It's not hard as such. But it's a pain in the arse.

Do search on here. Pretty sure there's a how to on it.

[hi_ryder]

can do it with the tank on. have to twist it and slide it out at a certain angle. not that hard....

Did mine today and yeah its pretty easy to do with the tank still in, only buy gm or bosch ones do not get cheap repco or supercheap ones they stuff up easy.

[Monster-VZ]

[binkztarr]

Aye just remember to have the tank fairly empty - my brother rocked up in his VN once and asked me if i could change the fuel pump for him an when i asked how much juice the tank had in it he replyed that he had just filled it!!!!!!!
