Hi everyone!

Been a long time since I've posted. I'm about to take my Panda out of its winter storage location but I've run in to a small problem. It would seem that the fuel pump has died during the winter.

So... with that, I need to buy a new one... problem is that with shipping being so expensive I need to make sure I buy the right one the first time!

Can someone tell me what part number I should be looking for?

I have an 88 Panda 1000 Lie (999cc)... LHD... brought over from Austria. It is fuel injected and I believe the pump is located in the tank.

So.. can someone point me in the right direction? Maybe even point me to an ebay sale so I can order directly from there.

Thanks in advance... you guys have been great help in the past so I'm sure this time will be no different!!

PM your chassis no as your car is a bit of an abnormality UK wise as the SPI wasn't available till much later here.

Will-do.... when I get home this evening and can find it

thanks Alan..

I think some of these early injected Panda's have a fuel cut-out fitted. I think the reset is located in one of the foot wells and is easy to trip out

Indeed. Passenger footwell just by where the door hinges. Several times my car hasn't started leaving me baffled, until pressing the magic button.

BTW, going to Freak out in Detriot this year Jordy?

There's a "magic button" ... seriously? ... you guys wouldn't be playing with my emotions would you?

Unfortunately all of the vehicles info is with the car so I won't be getting at it until Saturday morning. I'll looking for this mysterious button and see if I can find it.. if not I'll report the chassis code!

Freak out? ... I didn't know it was going to be happening in Detroit again this year. When's the date?? ... If I have enough notice this year I'll do my best to make it down there! (roughly a 9hr drive)

:worship: The Magic button on passenger side of Lindas car poped up for no reason car dead in road tried all the normal stuff checked then:idea: press the button and yes she was ok again:worship:

Jordy, see www.flu.org for details on Detroit....

Next year is New York (ish) and I'm hoping to make it!

Hi there, is it getting petrol? if it is then the petrol might be dead after sitting a long time.

Good luck

Trevor.

Hi everyone.. sorry it took so long for the update, I was away on training for a work.

Well I was never able to find "the magic button" ... but I was able to access the fuel pump through the service hole in the hatch area... then took a wrench and gave it a few taps and it sprung back to life. Guess it got siezed or something after being stored for so long. In any case.. thanks for your help everyone!



Jim: So you won't be at the Freak Out this year in Detroit? In that case I may wait for next year because New York is much closer for me!

Yeah, you'll have to take your panda next year as I'm not sure if I can afford shipping another one over, lol!

See you then but I'm sure we'll hear from you before then!

Jim
