Nope, exactly the same on phase 1 and 2 - seperate pump unit and sender unit.

sender unit is accessible by the little porthole on the boot floor, fuel pump is in tank and you have to either drop the tank or cut the boot floor to get at it.

lol, my mates not going to be a happy bunny at that news!

oh well, told him he should of bought a clio

cheers mate for the prompt reply, much appreciated

wait till he has to change the alternator or PS pump, he'll be quite glad he went for a 19 instead of a clio then

 

[coops]

ah you see, thats where my cunning plan came into fruition

powersteering removed, alternator now a piece of piss to get out, altho its fairly easy anyway on the clio!

I dont know what it's like on the clio but tbh dropping the tank on the 19 isn't really a big issue.

 

[coops]

i think main issue tends to be rusty/rounded bolts, and knowing his car it'll be bad under there!lol

either way sure we'll give it a good crack!

are there any other possible reasons for pump not priming on ignition suddenly? dont think he has alarm/immobiliser

dodgy pump relay?

Try bridging it and see if the pump comes on then
