hi all ,
got my fuel pump out today, looks quite new but when the plate was removed it was making a right racket

one problem in the haynes manual it says that it should have a plastic ring holding the fuel pump in that you have to knock round to undo,
mine had no plasic ring it was held in place with the rubber cover and a big

jubilee clip
is this right
thanks
mark

Do you have an earlier 9000? I thought the ealier Bosch LH injection systems had the kind of pump that has a big rubber cone-shaped seal. The later ones have the fuel sender integrated with the whole assembly, and that plastic ring. If I remember rightly the Haynes mixes its years in its illustrations, to promote clarity obviously.... (Can Bentley produce a 9000 Manual like they did with the classic 900!!??)

hi,
yes have an early 9000 ( 1989 ) with a bosch fuel pump so it sounds like it is fine because the sender unit is seperate
thanks for that
mark
