General Where is the fuel pump mk2 punto

Just quickly is the fuel pump for a mk2 punto accessed from the back seats, or do you have to drop the tank

also would a 16v pump fit an 8v


thank you very very very much

Stewart

under back seat as thought
the numbers and pipe outlets are different on the pumps i have 01 plate 8 valve and 54 plate 16 valve so i would expect without checking that outputs are different too
 
HOw do you actually remove the pump??? Its really stumped me! ive got the tank out and i still cant see how the pump comes out! does it twist out or what?? all you can see at the top is the plasticky white cap on top of the tank!
 
there is a plastic ring you undo
however they seize so you need two men to undo them at 180% as you both hit it with bluntish screwdrivers to drive the ring off
take your time
dont get brutal but most importantly
PUT THAT FAG OUT..........
 
Hi mate :)

The other guys advice is, as ever, very good. From my own experience though I had real problems re fitting the replacement pump due to the plastic ring that you need to re fit and tighten.

Maybe if there where two of you hitting it then that may work, I was billy no mates so was struggling a bit, well a lot in the end.

Only by a total fluke did I find out that at work they have the exact tool needed to do the job. Without that I would have had no chance I'm afraid.

In the Haynes they make a tool to do it, maybe worth going down that road mate (y)

In any event, best of luck with it all :)

Edit....different pressures apparently for the 8 and the 16 valve pumps.
