We've seen a few on here though, so always worth checking before the pump is condemned :idea:

Halo ford transit friends. i have a 1997 ford transit and I have the same problem as many people already explained about the leaking on the solenoid valves.A member Mr. psv-hgv-flt give many picture which is showing who to replace the lucas epic fuel pump whit a Bosch pump. I have a question a bout one cable which i saw in the picture what is t for??? It,s just a single one which has a blue connection.. Then i would like to know what is to do with the connection from the old lucas pump which was connected to the 4 solenoid valves. Is there not a electrician fold to the electronic box??Then the Number what i can see on the Bosch pump is that the number to order???

all you need is a bosch manual pump. pull the pats system off the back if it has 3 wires coming out the back so it just runs one wire from the stop solenoid straight to the 3rd live on the ignition and put the manual throttle pedal and cable on and its job done. can easily be done in under 2 hours. just takes a fiddle with the timing and fuel pressureto get it right.

gingerbob123, can you go through the timing fiddle you talk about and how does one adjust the fuel pressure, is there an adjustment mechanism for this?

If the timings out it throws up "timing code" on a tester :)

Where do you plug this "tester" on a manual Bosch pump :?:
