How to spot a FAKE Bosch 044 fuel pump! 

Thanks for the video. At first I bought a no name 044 pump, obviously it was a knock off. And it was making bad noises inside, annoying. Thought it was a bad pump, so got a "genuine" Bosch 044 from eBay and inspected it when received and it falls in to the fake category just like you pointed out in this video. And it was also making the same bearing noises.

Excellent video, you knocked that one out of the park by a long shot!

THANK YOU for this! I bought a Bosch 044 from Rockauto at a decent price (but not a crazy deal to make me feel as if it was too good to be true). When it arrived the seal was broken, yet the code per Bosch said it was legit. Did someone swap the pump in the box? Your video helped me feel confident that this is truly an authentic Bosch 044 pump. Rockauto even said that it could’ve been an unused return that they opened for inspection, and I feel as if that could be my case.

No prizes for guessing where the knock off was made.

ปั๊มเชื้อเพลิงชนิดใส่ในชุดลูกลอย มีขนาดเท่ากันเป็นมาตรฐานทุกยี่ห้อรึเปล่าครับ

Great video! I received a genuine pump from Rockauto at a great price.

Great video, helped me confirm my genuine 044

Thanks for the info, almost bought a fake Ebay 044!

Wow I had a bad feeling about Bosch oxygen sensors on eBay. too cheap and looks cheap.

You jerk that genuine unit sir🤣🤣 sorry I heard unit then you started shaking it I had to say it but great review man

Again well done. Looking forward to more videos of you driving!

what about those many high priced chinese "044 style" pumps which offer resistance for ethanol, methanol, and very high flow and pressure rates? Can they be true or not? I bought one, payed high price and ta-da like 4 months and pump doesnt want to make enough pressure any more, unless i give it over 15v.. they cant be trusted what specs say!

Great video mate, I have the exact same as your fake pump and was told is was full legit. Thank you!

Thank you. Very informative, with excellent video quality.

Well done sir!

But how does it compare in function ? John

I think i may have gotten a knockoff -it is way noisier than the original , just died completely ! If the price seems too good it's a fake generally.

How do you know the knock-off isn't genuine and the genuine the knock-off ?????

great video.. thank you. with your help i could find out my pump is genuine :)

Yep i new my so called genuine bosch of ebay was a fake knock of that explains my fuel issue
