Busted Fuel Pump?

[bd_89]

Hi Guys,

A few weeks ago my fuel pump started buzzing way louder than usual and also gave a rattling sort of sound. You can feel it bog down as soon as i hit 1psi. Its showing all the signs of a busted fuel pump but the only reason i am questioning if it is something else is thats its a fairly new Bosch 040. It wouldnt even be more than 12months old and done less than 10,000k's. The car is only making around 180rwkw so i know thats not putting too much pressure on it.

The car starts fine its only as soon as it starts making boost it feels like youve hit a wall (i havent been driving the car, this was only when it started happening).

Any suggestions on what else it could be or has anyone else had a bad experience with bosch pumps dying way before they should have.

Check your fuel pressure and also check for boost leaks / exhaust leaks to start off.

Is it possible the wiring is dodgy. I can pull the pump out and check it but dont really know what im looking for lol.

Ill have to take it in somewhere to have pressure checked as dont you need a guage (i dont have one).
