fuel pump

Jul 04, 2005 4 Replies

hi all, how much should i expect to pay for a new '95 volvo 940 fuel pump? at the shop they told me 300euros which seems to me quite a lot; they say it's so expensive because it's original bosh and there's no other aftermarket brand that produces such pumps. coud that be really so?



btw i live in italy.



tks,

FYI a great place to check for parts alternatives is here:

formatting link
've never bought parts from them because of the prohibitve cost ofshipping ($50 USD minimum to ship to Canada + the cost of the part)but the interface is easy to navigate and often it will show multiplemanufacturers, prices, and sometimes pictures to help identify thepart.

For example, for your car (assuming it's a non-turbo) they list 5 different fuel pump manufacturers with prices ranging from $55 USD for the Airtex to $173USD for the Bosch.

See if you can track one of the listed manufacturers down yourself and get a cheaper part.

Good luck, blurp

which pump do you need ? there's lift pump which is in the fuel tank built into the fuel level sensor and the main fuel pump which is under the floor of the car next to the fuel filter

I have both pumps, bosch and only fitted to the car for a week before the car was written off in an accident

what model is your 940, mine was a 1994 with 2.3L B230F engine

That sounds about right for a new one, you can probably save some money if you mail order a pump though or if you can find a low mileage used one at a wrecking yard. Those pumps are dang expensive, it's a good thing they normally last a while.

You can get a Walbro in-tank for about 80 CDN$, which will take care of the in-tank AND the pump under the drivers seat. The Bosch under seat pump will become a restriction after you install the Walbro, so it can be removed altogether. The walbro part number is GSS340

The P/N is FPG003 (a universal GM pump)- $108

This pump is a 255lph High Pressure pump.

There's a little fussing about to make it work, but you will save a ton of cash in using this upgrade, and you'll never have to worry about installing another Bosch secondary pump again. This is a very popular upgrade over here in N.A, and if you go to turbobricks.org or brickboard.com and do a search, you will find plenty of info on how to do it.

good luck
