Hi, got a 2001 TD4. About 36 months ago the rear fuel pump failed, I got that replaced (new pump 1). About 18 months ago it started having intermittent failure problems. The garage replaced the front (under bonnet) fuel pump and it still occurred, so they put that one back and replaced the rear in-tank pump and that seemed to fix it (new pump 2)
About 6 months later the front under bonnet pump failed so I replaced that (with a non-OEM) (new pump 3). That lasted 4 weeks, so I got another non-OEM (new pump 4) and that lasted 4 months and failed today so I need a new one (new pump 5).
So all up, in the last 36 months I've had 2 rear pumps and 3 front pumps. A new record?
The front ones that fail appear to fail good - I put 12v across them and get nothing.
Now you've stopped laughing. Am I missing another fault somewhere else or have I just had a run of bad luck compounded by some crap aftermarket pumps?
I'll probably be shelling out for a new OEM for the front again today unless anyone out there has a spare one?
