99 1.7 Injection Pump re-programme - Jimmons
Does anyone know whether a re-conditioned fuel injection pump for a 1999 Astra TD (gm engine) will need re-programming once fitted? Vauxhall parts guy said he wasn't sure, but possibly due to the injection ecu built into the unit. I didnt think (hoping!) it would need as it has the older engine.

Cheers

Not an easy one to answer without getting shot down; but I'd say no. The main engine ECU is coded; but I don't think the pump ECU is - on that year.

That sounds about right; but if you haggle, they'll fit it too for that price.

Re-con units are available from diesel specialists.
