Owner reviews for fuel pump

It was a Bosch OEM pump in a Bosch box so I think it should be okay.

I bought an even cheaper one for $99 on amazon, it’s a Delphi which is a well know brand in the GM world. So far it hasn’t failed me.

Towards the end of its run in our family, a gentleman who had worked in R&D for Ford had read a service bulletin about certain GM full-sized cars having a faulty fuel pump. He was a friend through church. He’d heard about our Olds and told my mom about the issue. I believe he paid for the repair in hopes it would fix our car. Instantly, all of its problems went away! It ran *perfectly.*

It needs a fuel pump. It probably has a new one but the Delphi pumps are notorious for screwing up after like a month and causing multiple attempts to start before the kick in. However, they're also super easy to replace.

2012 Elantra GLS. 213k miles, purchased as second owner with 53k back in 2015.

But despite all this has Been a great car!! Has never left me stranded or broken down.

Have you replaced the fuel pump? I'd do the sensor while in there anyway to get the fuel gauge working again.

You should be able to hear the pump ticking when you run the test in VCDS. One of mine broke and it is replaceable with a cheap Chinese pump off ebay, but it is a real pain to get to as the supply fuel pipe to it is really short; I extended my pipe on replacement to make it easier to change in the future. It is hidden above the rear left level sensor area.

During Covid times, I ordered a Motorcraft pump off of Amazon. When it finally showed up after three weeks, it was in a plain unmarked box. I opened it up and it was a broken Delphi brand assembly. I returned and got a refund.

The gauge is wonky with my Delphi pump in my 99.

I tried a Carter, and a Delphi. Both failed (after I topped off the tank) and I had to tow it home, drop a full tank, and do it over. The Bosch hasnt let me down these past 7 years.
