Technical Fuel pump change

[BertPleizier]

Hello,

The fuel pump on my Fiat Panda 1.2 from 2006 is dead.

The original OEM fuel pump is from Siemens VDO. I want to remove it to see the specific version / type of this one, because VDO has 2 different types for my car (E4DZ or 2 E4MF).

How can I remove the white plastic locking ring on top of the fuel pump? I tried a hammer and a flat srew driver to tap it counter clockwise, but no movement at al.

Hi.

Kettle of hot water.. to expand the white plastic collar

See mk1 punto GUIDES for info.

I failed to undo my panda one.. being gentle.

Later undid a mk2 punto with just a hammer and punch

Check the shape, but something like this should do the job.

I have ordered a tool like DaveMcT mentioned. Thanks for it.

Further I found the specific type of fuel pump I need with EPER and the VIN of my Panda so I ordered that fuel pump to, together with a new seal.
