I would say second hand you should be looking at about £30 for the complete thing, I can buy the pump new on its own for £58, but I think I have only ever replaced two, and they were both through abuse...as in the filters were never changed!

Yeah Mk3 2.0 16V.

fitted the front central locking today and it works!! was very easy
however when i removed the trim from the footwell passenger side i had a big hole
so out with the welder again
also lifted the carpet from the drivers side to find it wet
so clean all that up and painted it with white hammerite cant see where water would get in

not alot of water so could it have come in off my feet and gone down the split rubber and just sat there as ive only done 700 mile since jan

also won a fuel pump and filter off ebay

hi all not been on for a while (lost my internet bloody ntl)
been busy with the van
ive sprayed and the rear doors and fitted the windows
cut the hole in the sliding door and prep for spraying
and best of all ive fitted the cossy engine (almost)
got a list of parts i need to get it running including a proper set of engine mounts which i am making at the moment

as for fitting the engine was easier than i was expecting

only problem is the power steering need a hose making

and here is the pics





and my temp mounts just to get the engine in the right place

rain has stopped me doing much today sooo

i spayed the rocker covers and plenum
will have to see how long to paint stays on with the heat

[pce-hq13]

did you use hi-temp paint or normal spray paint....

paul

EDIT: i suppose with hi-temp paint a primer may be necessary !!!

[OxtonyxO]

i primed it with celly and then gave it two coats off black industrial gloss black celly

have to wait and see if it flakes off then i will have them shot blasted and polished

[OxtonyxO]

been out playing to day
refitted the plenum
fitted the exhaust manifolds
sort the brakes vacuum pipe
fitted the throttle cable
then went to fitted the coil pack and hit a snag


there not enough room cause of the bulk head will have to adjust that later

and thanks to some photos from valsheda i now know that the dohc rad fits the 24v pipe work and it has electric fans
on a down side they cost £135 new
