Technical Oe fuel pump

[W Bakker]

Hey everyone.
Last week the fuel pump on my 500 1.4 died and in a rush, I replaced it with a ERA unit. The new pump is very loud and I'd like to know the brand of the original pump. The old one that came out of the tank was unmarked. I assume a cheap pump installed by the previous owner.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unusual failure is a fuel pump - not unknown but not common either. Very likely the failed one was the original. Personally I'd be going for a known supplier for this like: https://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=store&op=Product&ProdID=6370
S4p are very approachable and I'd be giving them a ring for advice (I'm not guaranteeing the above pump is correct for your actual car)

Same country? coincidence ?

Are you sure a pump from the dealer is more expensive? My dealer sometimes surprises me for parts I install myself.

Since I'm not from the UK that isn't an option. I'll be ringing my local fiat dealer later today to get a price for an OEM pump. Otherwise, I'll try buying either a Bosch or Magneti Marelli pump.

The standard pump will come from one of several suppliers.. any car manufacturer will use components from multiple suppliers, in case one has a problem.

Genooine Fiat pumps could be Bosch, Magneti Marelli, or Valeo .. they also use TRW, Luk and Borg&Beck for a lot of components... but those latter seem to be suspension/chassis rather than electricals.

Valeo tend to leave their stamp on their parts, even if the FCA logo is next to it... as does Bosch to a lesser extent.

I would leave the ERA in there... it may quieten down once it's run a few kms...?

I agree, always worth a try.

Stupid me! I just failed to look at your location.
