ciderman Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I have had a couple of fuel lift pumps fail in the past , I replaced them with Britpart ones first off , But the first one lasted a month , So If it is the lift pump , get a genuine one or a good quality one . The best way to test is with the engine running crack open the top banjo bolt on the fuel filter housing , Fuel should pump out of the loose bolt , If there is no pressure , its likely your lift pump is at fault .

nige90 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Check the fuel filter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekab69 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I had exactly the same fault a couple of weeks back, as Nige90 recommends, change filter... Good luck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Dont know if this will help but the same loss of power happened to me today coming home , lost power, 50 max on motorway, pulled off had a look and found the small pipe that runs fron the top of the injector pump to the side of the turbo had come off at the turbo end, pushed it back into place power back to normal , got home ok and then secured it with a jubilee clip, Hope this helps Dev.
