It's not that simple they fitted that many different variations of the same pump , there's also 3 different part numbers on the pump . Was told I needed all 3 to match but then another place as told me I only need one lot of numbers to match .. If I get the wrong one not only will I be out of pocket on a pump and time for fitting it but then I'll have no car as it'll need re-programming and tbh it's not worth spending the money getting it re programmed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 16,457 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I’m not a mechanic but I’m sort of roustabout fitter maintainer on plant machines and we experience things like this a lot . If there’s a slight variation in the pump , it will have a different part I d number . Generally if the machine updates the part ids change with the new catalogue so to speak. Have you tried to looking at an illustrated parts catalogue from a supplier to nail on what you need ? Or attempting to find somewhere that supplies all three and see if they’ll let you have a look at them ? I feel your pain and apologies if I’m telling you to suck eggs there. In one or two instances I’ve had , the parts have been the same from the manufacturer under “superceeded” numbers by natural evolution of the machine eg the part may be the same under different numbers , just different series, editions , infuriating for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
