The pump section consists of a rotor, rollers and a separator. When the rotor rotates, the rollers turn and move along the inner surface of the pump separator under the action of centrifugal force and carry the fuel along with them.
Gasoline vapors are explosive. Remove components slowly, preventing falls. Do not smoke or work near open flames. Have a dry powder fire extinguisher handy.
1. Turn off the ignition; leave it switched off during the entire work period.
2. Remove the mat in the trunk area and remove the service cover on the left.
3. Disconnect the electrical wires from the pump.
4. Label and then disconnect the fuel lines.
5. After unscrewing the fastening nuts, remove the pump from the tank.
The pump is mounted at an angle and may require some force to remove. If the pump still won't come out, loosen the fuel tank mounting nuts underneath the vehicle; move the tank down a little to get more play at the top.
6. Install the pump, tightening the nuts evenly and alternately to 6 Nm.
7. Install the fuel lines. Use new clamps if necessary.
8. Connect the wires.
9. Install the service cover.
10. Lay down the rug.
11. Start the engine; it may crank longer than usual until fuel pressure builds up in the line.
