Owner reviews for fuel pump

If you bought a GM Genuine one, what's inside the box will be a Delphi. Just buy the correct Delphi so you are getting the factory part without the stealership pricing. it's almost half the cost of the GM genuine. fuel pumps are a pain in the ass to have to take out and put back in, so just do yourself a favor and buy the $182 Delphi. Then you won't have to worry about "did my fuel pump fail *again*?".

Delphi on rockauto.com works well

Having done a fuel pump I’d get an OEM but if you rule that out get the Sparta. Warning cheap pumps typically don’t last.

I had the almost the same problem. I replaced the fuel pump with a replacement and it did not help at all. Just make sure that you replace with oem or brand name parts. After I replaced with delphi fuel pump as per a master tech at Lexus, it started right up.

Something basic with an indirect injection diesel engine and Bosch VE fuel pump. Then it can be run on any old oil that’s remaining long after the petrol has turned bad. Including engine oil from abandoned vehicle sumps. Peugeot 405 estate would be ideal.

I personally run in-tank Delphi fuel pumps, one in each tank.

Picked up 2 Sparta fuel pumps for my truck. First one was bad out of the box. Second one has b3en good for 10k miles so far

Took great care of my Passat. Recommended oil change interval 10k; I changed every 6k. All oil and fluid changes at the dealership. I only did the filters, spark plugs and serpentine belt.

Problems -

Purge valve has to be replaced at 40k (warranty)

Control arms at 45k (warranty) + alignment

Fuel pump at 62k ($1600)

Entire cooling system replacement at 64k ($3100)

I believe hot weather and cheap plastic causing more harm to this car.

I learned that when my generic $125 fuel pump turned into a $750 tow and a $150 U-Haul trailer rental and 3 hours on the side of the road waiting for U-Haul to fix their blown out trailer tire. And then a new $400 Bosch fuel pump that I should have bought in the first place.

So I've changed out my original fuel pump (Pierburg) on my 90 Corrado back in Jan 2024. Replaced it with the Delphi complete unit with pump and sender. Now less than 2 years later I need a new pump.
