les87GTE Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I've been looking for a replacement fuel pressure regulator (absorber) for some time and they are very hard to come by. I've seen second hand ones for £150.00, new ones for £300+ and a few in between. Spotted these on eBay yesterday and have just ordered one for my car (1987 2.0e Coupé) - the guy has two left if anyone else is interested. Bosch part number 0280 161 006 BMW equivalent part number 13 31 1 274 832 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115399516761 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Pulse damper, not really necessary unless your keeping item look? Good spot on OEM numbers though 👍 OPEL: 818545 GM: 901998 Holden: 92031473 Daewoo: 90067820 Edited December 13, 2022 by Jessopia74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 always wondered about those ? they must be there for some reason but dont seem to make much difference if not there ? i assume it damps out any fuel pump irregularities/ pulses and gm though it was needed ? ? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Bosch’s standard part for any LE Jetronic system. But was more to do with the pump, modern 044 type pumps ( not cheap copies) are far more consistent on output flow/pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
