My New Years resolution was to finish my project by the end of the year and as always I’m going to need your help to accomplish this!

With that in mind I’m trying to work out how to rewire my car, and I need to find out which chassis number this fuel pump (VDO 220-801-011-001z) belongs to, it goes with plastic tank from a 300tdi td5, if that makes sense?

My logic is get that loom from auto sparks for the rear and the front, then modify the front to work with a 200tdi, any thoughts?

Oh yeah, happy new year!!!

From a quick google search, that “fuel pump” is actually a basic fuel sender. It’s a 2 wire, 2 pipe connection, isn’t it? The Land Rover part number is WQB100430. It’s from a 90, from 1998 onwards. It’s one of the ones I have been looking at fitting to my rebuild. It would be easier for you to use the existing 200tdi rear wiring loom and purchase the correct connector for that fuel sender.

A 300tdi defender and TD5 look basically the same, with the exception of the rear crossmember. The TD5 engine uses a 4 pipe connection fuel pump. As far as I know, no one has successfully made one work with a TDI engine.

What are you trying to do with your project? Is it an old 200tdi that you are putting a new chassis under?

Ah ok thank you, that gives me something I can work with.

You are correct it is a basic pump with two pipes and two wires, as for my project I want to carry out a complete new rewire (peace of mind) and it’s a blank canvas so to speak, I have a 2009 body which will be going on a 200tdi Richards Chassis, on which I have the additional TD5 rear cross member as an optional extra (this was originally to allow me to fit two tanks, but that seems like too much hassle and is probably beyond my capabilities). It has a 200tdi engine and I did purchase a complete 200tdi loom, but this was just for reference.

Whilst writing this, I’m now thinking you maybe right maybe I should just buy a complete new loom for a 200tdi from auto sparks, my problems/concerns is

Not a fan of these bullet type connections

I have a TD5 bulk head/dash and would prefer it to plug and play so to speak

Don’t have any numbers that auto sparks can work with, which is where my though of trying to find the chassis range that works with the sender and order that complete loom and modify it to suit

Does that make any sense?......... sorry

That’s a really good read and has given me another option... thanks for the advice.

Maybe keeping it as per the 200tdi might be the way forward, surely they could do an updated version, I’ll send them an email tomorrow and see what options they give me.

Don’t suppose we have a part number for that particular part of the loom, best I could find is https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/td5-fuel-sender-plug.302542/

Forgot to add, if you want connectors at a decent price, @PaulMc is the resident supplier. He sells on eBay, or used to, but I think he gives a better deal on here from what I have read.

Thank you

You can contact me through this thread, or by PM

I have a shop on eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/landroverconnectors
But, I don't (yet) have everything on there, and I can do stuff a bit cheaper on here, without eBay's fees.

Ahh thank you very much, I’ll be in touch soon, my attention has been diverted I’m afraid, it’s her 40th and I’m trying to arrange a surprise for her, the way I see it.... if I get it right then I can spend more time in here without her moaning as much

Sorry to bring up my old thread but I'm still desperately looking for the plug to fit the fuel pump in the picture attached.

A quick recap it's a "VDO 220‑801‑011‑001Z" and as Mick1986 said it's just a basic sender from a 1998 onwards, with 2 wires and 2 pipes..



Any help would be most appreciated
