I'm thinking about replacing my fuel pump in the spring. I don't know how old it is (probably the original) but it's better to be safe than sorry. Should I go with an OEM one or the Walbro 255lph? Would it be a bad thing if I used the Walbro one?
Also, is it hard to replace or just plug in and play? |

Fully agree with Presure on this one, I never replace a fuel pump unless it's not working right or way too loud etc…..

^agreed a 3rd time.
But if you must, Use an OEM replacement unless you've not got an OEM engine in your car. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!

damnn, didn't know it was that much for an OEM one. F*CK. i should've taken the one out of my silver car before I scrapped it. facepalm.....
I still have the one from the blue car as a backup, but the silver car had 100k less than both cars lol This post has been edited by mkernz22: Feb 13, 2011 - 7:22 PM |
