Hi,
I've had alot of help from members before and I'm very grateful for that, Thanks!
Have another query:
Do ANY of the 1993 Panda Parade Fire 1000's have the sender unit attached to the fuel pump?
I was quoted £250 for a new fuel pump (my fuel gauge wasn't working) but I've replaced the sender unit myself (£37). When I asked the Fiat garage why the wanted to charge so much, I was told that the computer gave them 2 options. 1 - A new fuel pump 2 - Replacing the sender unit.
I want to take the matter further cos I think they were trying to change an expensive part which wasn't necessary and want to stop them from doing it to anybody else.

Thanks

The 93 panda should have a fuel pump unit which contains the sender. As you know the sender can be removed and replaced from this unit. Other pandas (carb models) have just the sensor unit. I would imagine it would be quite easy for a partsman who does not know the classic Panda well to assume you needed one or the other, I'm sure it was a honest (if nearly costly) mistake. cheers Damon

There are two totally different fuel injection systems in use on UK Pandas in 1993.

For the first few months they used a Bosch SPI system, and the ignition used a breakerless distributor.

As far as I know, all UK Pandas after about March/April 1993 used Magnetti Marelli SPI injection with the dual coil ignition.

I couldn't argue about how different the sender/pump units are, but I'd be amazed if they were the same.

Not much help I'm afraid, but just wanted to point out that mine has the coils and the Bosch SPI!
