Changing fuel pump advice

[PeteH]

Plan to change the fuel pump soonish to Spikes uprated version :salut: , but as previously explained by others on older posts, you need to remove the sound/heat proofing behind the seats to access it.

Id like to replace this material, but dont really want to replace with Renault stuff as its silly expensive or have the hassle of sticking it all back together..

Does any one know 1. What this material is and 2. whether it can be sourced else where at normal prices? It looks like thick underlay..

Any ideas appreciated, thanks

Unsure of the carpet im afraid but I didnt realise there is an uprated fuel pump? whats the info on this?

First I've heard of an uprated fuel pump. Handy as I need one too although it needs to flow considerably more than the original.

S.pike's your man..improved mid-range power I believe, but not in yet.

Its like a sound proofing adhesive felt? Could also be heat proof?

If you carefully cut it off with a sharp knife you can just spray-tack it back down good as new.

I changed the fuel filter yesterday and the sound proofing above the access plate came out in one piece , it is nice and thick and shaped to fit , looked good enough for the job . :salut:

Looks similar but it doens't have the brown 'rubber skin' on it.

 

[PeteH]

This is the stuff, it has that laminate skin.
