And my next step is replace it with ..

Holden Commodore VE V8 Fuel Pump Upgrade
P/N: VEFPM-ZL1 $939 http://www.capa.com.au/holden_fuel.htm . I had to buy the same pump in the mean time as the other is going back to the supplier. under warranty

I took mine back to Repco, and told them it’s not comparable, gave me a refund and picked up Genuine Pump/Sender from a supplier in Coburg, he was great/easy to deal with, and honest as honest can be I guess.

Im on my 3rd pump after two failed within 6 months (not under any warranty) first time I thought it was just bad luck but when the second went after a few months I knew something was up. A friend is an ex Holden mechanic and knew what it was:

The fuel pump wiring loom is bad and is shorting which then fries the pump. Replaced the pump, senders and all the wiring and it has been fine for 1.5 years. He said they had a few cars with this issue and once they replaced the items above the customers never had the issue again.
This is for a series 2 VE SSV mind you but I'm sure it could be the same issue, it cost me $1200 to get it all replaced, there is a lot of labour involved

Hi! I’ve got a VE SS Sedan with now power to the fuel pump, do you know much about them! Cheers

When you replaced the pump units,
Did you, or the mechanic check the plug ?,
Because that was the cause of mine falling,
I have another thread I created feb last year,
It shows the burnt plug, and how I replaced it.
