96 1.9 Fuel Pump Solenoid? or Is It The Pump? - pankyone
Hi

Pug 306 td 1996 3 door sports Lucas pump
I was doing about 50 mph up hill, when the car suddenly lost power and now does not start. The nice man from the RAC (Mick) was really good and thinks its either the solenoid or the rota arm in the fuel pump. The fuel is getting to the pump but does not come out top the injectors.

1. Can the solenoid be replaced easy?
2. Can the pump be replaced easy?
3. Can it be something else?
4. Can the solenoid be by passed to see if it is faulty? (3 wire type to solenoid . lucas pump)

Any help would be good, even where I can get a replacement cheap would be a help.
Need the car for work. It takes me 2½ hours to get there by 3 buses and takes 3 busses 2½ to get back again.
Thanx
Peter

If its a straightforward pump without a keypad, yes its a simple job to replace the solonoid. If it has a keypad it will be necessary to remove the pump to dispose of the armour plating around the solonoid.
