Replacement fuel pump part numbers

[rogereld]

Help needed please. I need to replace a leaking fuel pump in a 2001 2.4T petrol V70, B5244T3 engine. The Volvo part number stamped on the original pump is 8649681. There is another number: 0580 313 099.

Enquiries to a good volvo dealer have offered a possible replacement but there seems to be nothing listed under the original part number and some variety in the possible replacement part numbers and I am keen to get it clear before I mail order a part.

I have been quoted £300-£400 for a Volvo pump. For a 20 year old car that is a lot to deal with a small crack in a bit of plastic. Online research for alternatives all illustrate a pump that looks different, with an electrical plug socket on the top.

The original pump has no electrical plug connector on the top. All the aftermarket versions I have found show an electrical connector with various number of contact pins.

Do the new pumps have a connector socket that is left unused when I install, or do I need to find a pump that looks the same as the original?

Are there alternative updated volvo part numbers for the original 8649681 number?

when you say a crack in a bit of plastic, which bit, is that part even replaced when you get a new pump

there's a 'repair kit' you can get on scandix?
https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...r-kit/1015002/

or new gaskets
https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...fuel-pump/778/

or a new locking ring
https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...-unit/1040349/

the part number you supply isn't coming up on there for anything though which isn't much help

they have some related things that might be right but you'd have to check the info carefully

*none of these are confirmed as the correct part*

IF this is the right one

then maybe part no. 30761743 ?

in which case https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...6174&_osacat=0

again checks required

The cracks are in the centre of the circle with the X divisions, right in the centre of the top of the fuel pump. Visible in the lower quarter of the plastic ring in the photos. I have not found any repair kits for that part.

The skandix links you have referenced are helpful. They show a plug socket on the top of the pump as I have seen in all the pattern parts so far, but as far as I can see from the photo there are no terminals in the one you have found. The link also comments the part is restricted on: chassis no., engine type, Variant code.

I will look at them in more detail. It does not seem straightforward, with plenty of variants and no clear reference to my original part number.

Ah i see, in that case is it worth considering a replacement 2nd hand unit just to swap over the top piece

such as, but not necessarily https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175306126...Condition=3000

or just pumping the 4 quadrants full of some kind of petrol-resistant sealant or fuel tank repair putty https://www.amazon.co.uk/Granville-0...32866450&psc=1

I have often used good second hand original volvo parts from a local specialist volvo breaker. I found a couple of second hand Volvo pumps online with a matching original part number, but there are hints in online photos that they may have the same or similar stress faults in the plastic around the inlet/outlet points, probably due to age. Does the plastic get more brittle over time? One of the pumps I found for sale had the plastic outlet pipe snapped off!

A swap of the top piece could be considered if I had opportunity to study the pump internals and decide how easy it would be. Removing the pump and taking time to investigate that option leaves the car with an open fuel tank with a couple of large apertures under the rear seats which will fill the car with fuel vapour if not sealed. I am working outside with all car doors and boot open, and with battery disconnected to reduce risk of igniting petrol. I cannot leave the car unattended like that so I want to get the replacement pump ready to fit before I open up the tank and remove the old pump.

I have thought of pouring resin in to the recess in the top of the pump where the cracks are. There are some online comments where this has been done. But it is likely to be a temporary fix, and the type of plastic the pump is made of is very good at not bonding to adhesives. The tank repair putty will bond well to metal but is not recommended for hard plastic.

I'd probably be a bit wary of anything liquid-ish that sets hard, for fear of contaminating or blocking the fuel line, whereas a putty would be pretty safe I think

maybe they do one for plastics, I dunno.. mainly as long as it's ok for use with petrol I can't see it being a problem

it's not gonna fall off anyway is it, that part is upright and also in a recessed area anyway, I reckon if it was pressed firmly into the area (not so hard it makes the crack worse!) then it would get a good seal and stay there

I know what you mean about the old plastics though it would definitely be a gamble

[stuart bowes]

I wonder if there was piece of metal tubing the exact right size whether it would be possible to pop the clip off, and slide it down into the plastic part as a sort of inner sleeving

I am considering fitting a RIDEX 1382F0170 fuel feed unit. Going on the part number indicated by VIDA being 30761473. does anyone have any experience of this manufacturer?

Or possibly HELLA 8TF 358 146-561 Fuel Feed Unit. The online cost of £70 inc VAT and delivery worries me a bit. Compared to the £400+ quoted at my local Volvo dealer for the volvo part, it seems too cheap. Am I missing something. I would expect to pay more for a Volvo branded part, but not that much difference.
