Hi Folks, Quick question my Vl Calais has been sitting around for a bit and tonight I went to start her up and I could not hear the fuel prime and the car did not start. So I am guessing my fuel pump is gone. Is there any other way for me to verify this? And also whats a rough price for me to get a new fuel pump installed?

Check the fuse Use a multimeter and check power at the fuel pump Pull the fuel line off and turn the key on and see if fuel comes out

As above ^^^^^^ If it is Ya fuel pump might aswell do your fuel filter while your under there!

Thanks for the info guys. I shall give it a crack. Worst case if it is the pump how much would a mechanic roughly charge me to replace it? The cars only making around 180rwk atm but in the future I am hoping for a full forged rebuild. Whats my best option fuel pump wise? A bosch 044?

Depends which pump it is the external one you should be able to do yourself the internal one is a little bit more complicated but it's not hard. Shouldn't take them more than an hour I would just stick with the one you got to save money upgrade later

pumps are easy do it yourself. get new steam bent efi hose for the fuel tank to pump fitting and new hose for the rest. a VLT pump is the same as a n/a pump and i sell my second handies for approx 50 each when my intank wnet I upgraded it and i knew mine was noisy so purchased an 044 which took me years to get around to fixing.
