1978 924 Fuel Pump Questions Replacement Help

[kto9]

Hey

I am in no way an expert so go easy on me.

I am pretty sure my fuel pump is no longer functional. Recently, I have been having trouble where after driving and parking the car, I could not get the car to start. Car would crank just fine, but my fuel pump would not come on. I normally hear a buzz and know the pump is working, but lately I've had to flip the key a few times back and forth before I would hear it kick on, especially after driving it for a little bit and parking the car.

Now, though I am sure the fuel pump is dead.

When the fuel pump was working it was pretty obnoxious, which as I understand it, is a sign that the pump was going out anyway.

The fuel pump looks as if it were replaced before, as there are some newish looking hoses with some kind of attachment, that looks as if the previous owners had modified.

I bought a replacement pump for 40$ that I found here:https://www.ebay.com/itm/223574541846?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

I've watched some 924 fuel replacement videos on youtube and am curious if I should order any other parts.







Anyone know what this extra attachment is?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting. Looks like the part number is OPEL 09 292 585 from a picture I found online

In terms of the fuel pump, I'd start at the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay with a test light. Also run some searches at 924board.org for "fuel pump." Also check all of your grounds. Good luck.

thanks man I tried searching for it by the numbers but for some reason I wasn't getting anything

That helps a bit, now at least I know it's a filter and I should probably replace it
