Fuel Pump Replacement

Access on a Touring is a little more time consuming than a Saloon in which you just remove the rear seat base .

Remove both rear seat bases.

Remove the carpet from the under-seat area. You may have to remove the seatbelt buckles and the sill trim to release it.

Remove the rail that supports the seat bases (several grub screws with tiny allen type heads)

Remove the access panel on the r/h side.

Remove the sender from the top of the pump (4 8mm nuts/washers)

Dis-connect pipework (you may require some small jubilee clips going back)

Remove the pump by rotating anti-clockwise. It's a bayonet type fitting, so the assistance of a screwdriver and hitting stick may be needed, or two crossed screwdrivers may work.

Remove the filter sock from the bottom of the old pump, unsolder the wires from the top of the pump, then put some downward pressure on the frame around the bottom of the pump, enough to release the pump. The fuel connection is just push in.

Reassemble by the reverse of the above, making sure you solder the red wire to the + terminal on the pump.
