Fuel Pump Replacement (In-Tank)
The fuel pump delivers fuel under specific pressure to the engine. It is cooled by the fuel itself, so frequently driving on a low tank can cause it to overheat and fail.
Signs of failure:
-
The car struggles to start or requires long cranking.
-
Hesitation, jerking, or loss of power during acceleration or under load.
-
Unusual whining or buzzing noise coming from the rear of the car.
-
Engine stalls shortly after starting or while driving.
What is included in the service:
-
Depressurizing the fuel system.
-
Accessing the fuel tank (via the interior service hatch or by lowering the fuel tank).
-
Removing the fuel pump module and cleaning the area to prevent debris from falling into the tank.
-
Replacing the fuel pump (or the complete assembly) and inspecting the strainer (pre-filter).
-
Installing a new tank seal/gasket to prevent fuel odors in the cabin.
-
Testing the fuel system pressure after installation to ensure proper operation.
