Looked at buying the apr fuel pump!
From awsome Id save £150 if I rebuilt it myself, any reason to push me away from this and buying a pre-built unit?
-
I've going to buy a re-built APR HPFP, awesome told me all pumps are pressure tested and given a years warranty by APR.
-
it's not you building it yourself, it means you send of your current HPFP and they use that
It's only £150 if your pump is deemed to be in a fit state for rebuild, and it means going without your HPFP for several weeks while it's built, and then no option to sell it if you ever put the car back to standard...

Autotech internals (not APR) require you to build your own pump, however given that these pumps run at 130+bar of pressure and are the only connection between your fuel and your oil, would you really trust yourself to do it? :surprised:
This is why (as said above) APR build and test their pumps themselves to ensure quality and reliability.

Loba HPFP a is the way forward.

Some may buddy like myself there are other techies out there that build more than just simple internal fuel pumps day in day out, it depends on how confident you are. The autotech process is a very simple one. Give it a shot :happy2:

Hello guys,
Just to let you know, APR fuel pumps come with a life time guarantee.
Should there be any failure of the pump that is found to be of manufacture defect, APR will replace the fuel pump under the terms of the manufacture warranty.
The pump would need to be sent back to APR for testing. This warranty only applies to the original purchaser and this is not transferable.
Many Thanks
