Hi

Has anyone tried the fuel pumps from ebay ? They are half the price of ECP and GSF pumps

Are they any good? or will it fail within 6 months?

Thanks

Which pump do you mean?
Main fuel pump or lift pump or both?

I've read posts of others using the cheaper ebay pump and they have been ok.
When I changed mine I had a spare Bosch pump so I used that.

As long as you get at guarantee with it, say from ebay store, then id give it a try. But failing that GSF will offer to exchange if not correct im thinking of changing 1 of mine, as i get a buzzing sound have changed relays and checked in tank lift pump.
