Neo brothers fuel pump kits
« on: 04 March 2015, 07:00:51 PM »
Has anyone ever ordered one of these kits for £65? I think the fuel pump on my 9-5 might be getting past it so I was thinking about one of these kits to keep spare in the boot to assist in the event of a failure but if they don't last I'll wait for it to die and get the real thing.

When my fuel pump died last month, I thought hard about one of these kits, but opted for an aftermarket unit as I had to change the pump with 3/4 tank of fuel, and wanted to do the operation quickly. I later had a look at the failed one, and failure was a worn/stuck brush (got the motor working again running on just the brush spring), but the unit disassembly was not trivial - I would say the main issue would be making sure all the new seals etc go in exactly as intended - the orientation of these is quite hard to keep track of once the unit gets split.

Your other posts (and sgould's) nailed the fuel pump as the problem - died whilst driving along at speed. No codes. Many thanks.
