Walbro Fuel Pump??

[graham_nairn]

Just got my new fuel pump through the post. Decided to have a go fitting it. After spending ages trying to locate the relay box to disconnect it. I have the pump out of the fuel tank.

I knew from the diagrams that the new pump maybe a different size. But the one thats on the car originally is huge!!. Just wondered if anybody else has changed one of these and if that sounds right.

The pump is going on a 1997 UK  Cataluyna..

Did you use the original bag on fuel pump

 

[graham_nairn]

I never used th OE bag. Did a search earlier on. Some people said to use it some folk said to use the new bag. Had a drive about everything seems ok.

Some folks had also mentioned about disconnecting a black box for running 9v or 12v for the new pump. I didnt have this but the pump I took out had 12v stamped on the side.

did you notice any difference in power after fitting thse new pump mate ??

[graham_nairn]

To be honest I haven't noticed any difference.

This is the 1st time I've had it out for months so compared to my 1l, 4 speed vw polo it feels amazing!

The car still needs remaped and I haven't got a new pressure reg yet either.

It is however popping and banging out the exhaust a bit more.

how easy or hard did you find fitting the pump? I'm doing mine tomorrow. Any handy hints? Cheers
