It sounds like its on its way out with an intermittent noisy whine. I'm going to let it throw up an EML before I do anything about it but just wondering what my options are?
From what I can gather there are 3 routes I can go down:-
1. New pump (expensive)
2. Try to source some bearings and rebuild the current one. (ballache??)
3. Blank it off and have it mapped out. This also removes the potential for the solenoids failing later on.

Does anyone have any alternatives that I haven't thought about or pro/cons of the above? Also, if I decide to remove and blank it off who can map it out in the Northwest area?

Cheers
Andy.

 

doubt you'll get bearings for it as they are plastic.
I ditched mine when I had the hatch as it made my engine bay look messy. its sat in my garage if you after a good used replacement.
either that or remove the whole lot and get the codes mapped out like you mentioned

 

Cheers Rob. To be honest I think it makes more sense to do away with it completely. Who did you use to remove the codes on yours?

 

I had Andy Forest in Edinburgh remap the car after a new engine to 460bhp and had it mapped out then

 

Cool. I think Edinburgh might be a bit out of the way from where I live. Lol. I'll give Andrew Carr a buzz.

 

Hi Andy I am having mine done by Andrew Carr in the new year so I know he can do it but if you want a pump i have one on the shelf the car has done 35 k then ringlands failed
