Electric fuel pump for defender..

[Vagrent]

Hi there,
Was just looking at a thread by POS and he mentioned that the TD4 external fuel pump is a good alternative for the, utterly crap mechanical fuel pump

Well its not crap, I am just ****ed off that my 3rd lift pump has buggered up, they seem to work well, then just decide to suck and blow as opposed to what they are supposed to do

Has anyone tried the TD4 fuel pump on their 200/300/19j and had any positive results they wanna share with me?

Since I fitted my 200tdi i have had nothing but problems with my fuel, I have fekked about doing various things, and still, when I just get into 3rd gear, it starts to starve, I lose throttle response, let it tick over a bit then it'll pick up again...ect...

Sick to death of the smell of diesel for today, gonna bury my head in other things.
All help will be appreciated, I don't often wander to far from 'anything goes' unless I have a serious problem and at the end of my tether..please help:Cry: :frusty::frusty:

Are you sure its the pump and not something silly like the diesel filter. I had the same symptoms as you have described. I changed the Diesel filter and its runs beautifully.
I have a 1990 200tdi. I don't think the pump has ever been changed.

Not getting a vacuum in the tank are you? Does it hiss when you open the fuel cap?

With cold weather, if you got any water/condensation in the bottom of the tank it could be frozen around the pickup tube screen

Think the logistics rule that out, 600 mile round trip to fit a fuel pump
