Fuel Pump Prices

[billgatese30]

christ on a bike

both gsf and ecp want over a ton for a fuel pump, chirst almighty, is there anywhere cheaper to get them, prefreably new

or am i better off twating it with a shifter whenever it cuts out

[Rich_W]

If GandS and Euros, bith want that. Chances are thats the price. You could try BMW, as they can be a bit random with their prices and might be a lot cheaper.

[billgatese30]

was going to ring them tomorrow anyway as i noramlly get a discount, but probably not enough to make it seem anyless eyewatering

at least dick turpin wore a mask.......sheesh

[dobbie82]

saw a new one for a 318i on ebay went for £80+

so bought a second hand one of a zoner for a fiver

[Simon13]

a proper one should be bosch i think.

i had one go on my 318i cost me £150 about 5 years ago for a bosch one!

[mrLEE30]

scrap yard??

[Chris-W]

is there anywhere cheaper to get them, prefreably new

Do you want a used one Chris?

[M5pilot]

Get a brand new one as and make sure it's a Bosch!

Get the complete unit, much easier to change aswell.

worth a phonecall

[e30bemer]

whats the car details, will look @ work!

[Gwynleym10]

Fuel at the pump seams to be around 92.8p a litre near me at the shell, which is the cheapest I have seen in ages.


















Oh fuel pump in the car.....get it fixed so you can enjoy the cheapish fuel...

[billgatese30]

well bmw want about 140 quid although i do usually get a discount so that would knock it down, as previously said, ecp and gsf want about 110-120 for one, or do i get a cheap second hand one and then a cheap spare..........might just go for a newun and live on rice and beans

well? Have you done as I suggested?

[fuzzy]

theyre a nightmare,it was cheaper for me to buy a escort cosworth walbro motorsport fuel pump than it was to buy a standard one from ecp.and it was a direct replacement

[Simon13]

just buy a new one and don't be tight. chances are a secondhand one will be growling away in no time.

2 year warranty with BMW parts, fit it and forget about it

[Chris-W]

.....or do i get a cheap second hand one and then a cheap spare..........might just go for a newun and live on rice and beans

Let me know if you go economy & I'll post you a couple.

[billgatese30]

i'll check the finaces, probably fit it in somewhere amongst the re-trimming budget

cheers chaps. i'll keep you all posted, and cheers for the offer chris, i'll let you know

[bigkev]

never thought i'd hear BILL GATES bitchin about £120
surely that should be a drop in the ocean for ya

[billgatese30]

if only dude, if only

[Bob_S]

you tight wad, get to BM and spend the moolah!

[Geoff]

There's no point in buying a second hand one, as chances are its just as old as your knackered pump!! Try B&B Components in maidstone 01622677662. I bought one from there, genuine bosch too. Circa £95/100 as i recall. You aint going to get it cheaper than that!

Good luck.

[Simon]

Chris, I replaced the fuel pump on the sport at the same time as it had the cylinder head replaced, probably about 4 months before you bought it from me, replacement pump was a bosch.

Have you checked the soldering? The replacement required wiring to be soldered to the new pump.

[billgatese30]

i'll check that simon cheers, i thought it strange as it wasn't particularly noisy, even with the rear seat out and the cover plate off it was almost silent, i had to put my hand on top to feel the vibration to make sure it was spinning

i'll give it a look tomorrow afternoon when i get in

[Simon]

No worries, I should have mentioned it was a brand new pump, though I figure you guessed that

[billgatese30]

yeah, i suppose if you were spending the money doing the head then the pump would have been a drop in the ocean

Yip, easy job in the end. Though I had to pay the Euro price

Worse, the 2nd hand pump which I had cancelled cause it hadn't arrived last Friday as ordered turned-up this morning - cheeky blighters, do you think I'll get my money back!?
