Fitting S3 Pump

[Robbie C]

Yeah I used an LCR one Phil but as above it's largely the same concept and gives you an idea of what connects where

 

[ian_cupra]

with changing the outter casing with the level sensor on it, it will all connect in the same way, as all the other pump connect differently, and can put extra strain on the pipes and connectors

 

[Robbie C]

It was a bit of a stretch for a couple of lines on the LCR pump I'll give you that But less hassle (once SEAT supplied the correct pump)

 

[ian_cupra]

i told you to change the outter case over! cos i tried mine first with r32 one still on, and was a stretch. it went in on connected up, but for a 'hassle' of about 5 mins, it fit like it should

Whine whine whine

That pic of the S3 one looks way different to mine and the part numbers are different, mine reads 8L9 919 051 G.

Ill get it done tonight whatever happens. lol.

have fun with it Phil, its easy really

I got my dog to do mine

Easy peasy!

 

[PhilW]

Well i done it. Sort of. lol.

I need a fuel hose to blank off the spare pick up and thats it.

Hardest part was twisting the seal off.

For peoples info you’ll see what you need to do when you have the two pumps side by side. Remove the 4 torx screw on the back and swap the top/back part along with releasing the two crimp connectors on the float with a pin.

On the S3 there is an extra connector on the smaller black wire which you need to cut off and splice/solder/join together.

You will also notice that’s theres a spare hose off the top of the pump, about 3 inches long with a black connector on the end which needs blanking off as this is the pick up for the other side of the tank on the S3.

As you will be using the float and connections from your OE pump the gauge will read the same.

Re-install taking your time to line up the pump arrow with the arrow on the bodywork on the left hand side and screwing the cap down tight with the seal in place correctly.

Prime and away to go.

told you it was easy

 

[Robbie C]

Nice one Phil - that seal is a bitch must admit. With only one thread pickup you need to do a whole rotation for it to sit itself flush

told you it was easy

how "easy" was putting yours back in tho fella

 

[ian_cupra]

how "easy" was putting yours back in tho fella

was because didnt change the outter case, second time around it was easy

 

[Mat]

ah I see

 

[Prebs]

Will be interesting to see some "before and after" logs on this Phil, guessing that was on your mind aswell

 

[PhilW]

Theres nothing you can log regarding the fuel delivery really, if the OE pump is worn or struggling it might not show in logs.

 

[h17och]

there is defo a nack to screwing it back on. once you get it right it takes seconds. if not you swear for ages.

alot easier in my estate.....gd ol 5 doors

 

[Mat]

speaking of your estate, is it making an appearance at edition?

 

[Deleted member 39269]

would fiting this to a mapped KO3 make any difference?

 

[Robbie C]

No, not enough power to justify needing it and you'll still be restricted by the 3 bar FPR
