Brettj123 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hi all, I recently bought a non runner R reg cabriolet and long story short traced it to the fuel pump being faulty (couldn't hear the pump prime when turning the ignition on) I replaced this and got it running again, but a month or so after not touching it I've gone to turn over and the same problem has returned! I've tried swapping the brown relays about which hasn't helped, and also the immobiliser is fine as the red light by the clock illuminates for a few seconds and goes off. surely the fuel pump hasnt gone? Any common problems with regards to this? It's a 1.6 1997 model. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Grainger Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Nothing known that I know of. Mine failed a couple of years ago as the multiplug corroded and the terminal broke off the pump. I replaced it with a Bocsh pump which is the OE brand and has been fine since. I wonder if yours has done the same and the multi plug is still corroded causing a bad connection ? You can just about get to the plug by lifting the rear seat. Might be worth tesing the voltage to the pump wires to rule out the wiring before dropping the tank again.

Brettj123 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks for the reply, believe it or not the multi plug looks almost brand new still. Will try to escape to the garage to check the voltages though, I'm hoping it's something stupid that I've missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
