    Not worth the effort. The Siemens and Continental pumps used for this application have a terrible reputation. There was a company on the south coast modifying Bosch pumps to fit and they were around £450 including a regulator.

    Hi everyone, so I was right about it being the fuel pump again. So we’ve opted to get a secondhand one, will get it back on the road for about £250 all in, which is an amount we can afford and stomach :beer:

    OP you say the HPFP was changed but was the fuel regulator? They should be changed as a pair.

    No the regulator wasn’t changed, wasn’t aware there was a problem with both components, I’ve had a read and seen about both needing replacing, going to speak to my mechanic about it
