The fuel pump on my '74 2.0 is no longer holding pressure and I'm looking to replace it. I've seen NOS pumps pop up occasionally on this forum , and various rebuilt units from retailers (Auto Atlanta, Parts Heaven, etc.), but I haven't seen any aftermarket replacement versions. Do they exist?

It really seems that the best option these days is to convert to the later style pump. We just had another 3 port fail on a customer on the road today. We have bought a number of the AutoAtlanta rebuilt pumps, but an alarming number of them either leaked right out of the box or wouldn't build/hold pressure.

True,what do they rebuild?,there is no parts for them ,the AA ones will be a new coat of paint and others well...never heard of great stories about rebuilt ones what ever Porsche it is. No point in trusted a used original could be good for a week or six months. Any low pressure efi replacement pump will do as long as the inlet outlets are the same size,Bosch are good. |
