Found this on Ebay, as mine is noisy and needs replacing. Does anybody know if it's OK. The part numbers listed match that on the ETK !

Yes that is the one. but on later ones they put a rubber boot around it (blue bit) to stop you hearing the noise.

Noisy high pressure pump on the early two pump system often means the in tank pump has failed.
Both pumps can be replaced by a single later type pump, which fits directly in place of the in tank pump. External pump is just removed and replaced by a piece of high pressure fuel hose.
