tlyons Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi, finally back in the world of Manta's, well never left just got distracted. Anyway's hope someone can help. Haven't started the car in ~1yr, turns over a treat but no fuel at regulator. With the ignition on, if I short out fuses 7 & 8 with a coin I can hear a slight thud from the pump. My diagnosis indicates the pump is failed/siezed, do you agree? Any ideas on how to coax it back to life?? I tried the "lightly tickle it with a hammer" method but no joy. Any ideas if this part is still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have revived one in the past by swapping the wires around at the pump and briefly running it in reverse. It worked for me but i do-not promise it will work, or that it won't hurt the pump. But if its not working now there is little to loose from trying. At least that was my basis for doing it.

tlyons Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thanks guys, will give that a try this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlyons Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 No joy so far with reversing the electrical connections, however will give it another shot. Found in my box of spares a pump I think it is from a 2.2 Carlton with part number Bosch 0 580 464 008, this pump is not responding either to the WD40 or reverse connections. However wondering what is the part number for the Manta pump, any ideas? Obviously I'll wip off the pump and findout but just curious if someone knows.

tlyons Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 The Opel and GM part numbers for fuel pump are 8 15 004 & 09292567 John John, thanks for the numbers!! The numbers on the Pump from the Manta are the same as the Carlton Pump, aka Bosch 0 580 464 008. I'll give my Motor factors a kick and quote your numbers and mine, if no joy I seem to have found a few on ebay. My latest issue; I managed to sheer off the three mounting rubbers, and the bracket that the Pump & filter mount onto is pretty much a pile of rust. Planning to fabricate a replacment, I have some thick aluminium sheet so was thinking of using. Any tips or suggestions for another solution? cheers Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exclusive Opel Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Would this be any good? eurocarparts They also do Bosch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith1200 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Would this be any good? eurocarparts They also do Bosch. That's a good price! I was 'just' about to suggest! I've seen them in Germany for 'high 60-ish quid' mark. Edited May 3, 2010 by keith1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
