vauxsenb Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Mini exhaust bobbins, found at most motor factors. Sorry cant help with the other Q's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamytedan Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 think its called a swirl pot , supposed to dampen the oscilations of the fuel pump . it may have been leaking so it was by-passed . i dont really know how important it is , but i guess your pressure regulator on the fuel rail will now be working overtime ?.....perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 It's called a damper, description of purpose is correct . Details of last one I bought from dealer: Damper Diaphragm (Fuel Pump Assy.) GM 90019987 I've ran many cars without one. However, be aware Opel and Bosch used to have basically infinite resources. Not fitting one of these would increase therir profit margin, therefore that they chose to expend resources on it means they had good reason.
