I though the bosch 044 is considerably bigger than standard, I had mine out yesterday to replace it with a sard pump. The sard was alot smaller.

As long as the two wires on the top and the rubber feed pipe fit, then its no problem, just cable tie it up and thats pretty much it.

Bosch 044 is a lot bigger than the stock pump, also it\'s designed to work externally so you might find surge issues whnyour petrol level drops bellow half.

Thats what I thought, I was suprised to find that Ross had fitted it. Shall have to see.

Yep the walbro\'s are an okey pump, and from memory as i had had one in my last car they are smaller but will still fit without issue matey.
