So I dropped off a lorry the other week when things were still in corona tier 2. We have a good go at getting the recently bought 2.2 direct petrol running but as it turns out the pump needs new washers and they are stuck in the post from Eastern Europe so this is as far as we got

Oh the joys of thee YH engine, I went though 3 HPFP in 5 years of owning a 2.2 The problem is the rubber that is built inside of the pumps, after time the ethanol that is in petrol at the pumps damage the diaphragm, this was a major fault Vauxhall new about but kept hush hush

@@OnceDrivenForeverSmitten Super Unleaded is still E5 5% ethanol blend for the next few years, but regular 95 has gone up to E10 10% blend now. Tesco Momentum 99 is good quality fuel and often well priced with the lower 5% ethanol content that might help keep the new fuel pump alive for longer.

Common fault on z22yh hp fuel pump. There are 2 types of pump a Siemens or continental off the top of my head i can't remember which pump fails the most. Which ever one is on there replace it with the other make as the one you have will fail again.
@OnceDrivenForeverSmitten
@OnceDrivenForeverSmitten 3 года назад
It's a Continental on this. Pump is rebuilt and shot it being done but it's not much of a video just that on its own. Going to post the pump to Pete who can fit it and then see if the car will misbehave as it did before.
