Tony, The old Bosch pump is stamped just as you suspected: 0-580-254-984. The new one is a Bosch as well but is completely devoid of identification, unless it's printed on a microdot somewhere. Regardless, I still have the box it came in. The number on the box is 0-580-464-021.

Len, We've already corresponded via email, but your explanation is very illuminating. The new, 3.2 FP is, number one, here in my hot little hands and I have for some reason decided that it has to go in the car. Can't really explain that. That it might be subject to a restocking fee (our Host was noncommittal on this) if I return it, and that the older, CIS version is far more expensive might have something to do with it.

Changing out the original hose sounds like the way forward, although the whole "permanently crimped" concept gives me pause. I have a habit of breaking things permanently affixed to other things. If you can reasonably say that I'll be successful getting it off, I'd like to give it a go.

Thank you both for you time and effort.

Kyle
