Perhaps you need a spare car.

Hi, Just had a quote from the local VX stealers for new High Pressure Fuel Pump, fitting and diagnostics.....£610! £8 seems to be a bargin, but you can't beat that sparkely new out of a box feel to a spare part costing twice as much as this year's insurance for the damn thing.........Ok, breath....

If mine ever went I would trade the car.

ouch even if its out of the box when this baby arrives it will be getting polished up like new theres know way I could pay that have you tried telling them to pay for half?

If mine ever went I would trade the car.

thats what I was orginally thinking i was looking at a 3 ltr cdti 4 months ago still in to much neg equity though so im stuck just praying it keeps up

I got this car when an Alfa I had died, the big ends were knocking for months. It got so bad I couldn't hear the radio so I traded it for the Vec. The salesman just walked around the car, never started it.

Down to the mileage/age. 2005 (05) with 102K (It's a 2.2 direct estate) and VX wouldn't entertain the idea of paying anything a couple of months ago for a body control unit either....still, bit by bit the car is almost new again!

So far this year:-
Body Control Unit,
Heater fan
heater controller
Resistor pack
high level brake light
Lower front wishbones
rear suspention bushes
4 x new disks and pads
FM/DaB ariel

what is next???

First 4 seem like the same thing, problems with your heater? Bushes/discs and pads go on any car, wear and tear. Brake light OK fair enough a fault. Aerial, most seem to stick a PCB in there and it shorts out when it leaks.

I am not defending Vx but parts are cheap(er), if you want super reliable go japs but you age 40 years.

Good purchase mate. Yep the YH has the variable flow manifold, its why you can t fit the 2.4 one. I believe the pump needs to be Tech 2'd in as its part of the Thatcham Immobiliser set up. If you remember the thread when the guy did the same but with a DTi pump, he had loads of problems. Think it turned out it had to have a certain serial number to be compatible, then it could be tech 2'd in to the immobiliser system. To be thatcham approved by the way the immobiliser has to cut 2 circuits, 1 is the pump and the other is ignition I think. HTH
