Newbie Needing Mechanical Help

[Jiloa77]

Hi guys, i'm new here.

 

My Citroen synergie 2.0 hdi 2000 model, wouldnt start the other day so had to call RAC (bless them )

 

He gave my fuel tank a few smacks with his hand and alas it started, that'll be your fuel pump he said it's sticking you should get it replaced asap.

 

My question is I would like to change it my self as it is a £260 job, money I don't have.

 

So does anyone know how to access the fuel injection pump or where it is located (I know its in the fuel tank.)

 

My bro in law is a mechanic at vw and says you either have to lift the carpet and there should be a panel to remove ( did this but couldn't find anything) or the fuel tank will need removing to replace.

 

Is anyone able to help me.

 

Thanks in advance.

From memory...and looking at the book times i would say that the fuel tank has got to be lowered/removed to gain access.....with a ramp and an empty fuel tank that takes about an hour. Its also worth noting that whilst the tank is out make sure there is no swarf in the bottom of the tank indicating other problems.
