SUPRALOOPY Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I have a good one off a 2.0 dtl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 its a 99 vectra dti ..... the pump is encoded and guess who you have to go to to get it replaced getting another pump will still require the ecu to be programmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 very common fault on these has been for a few years now. might work out cheaper getting a used pump including immbolizer unit/key chip. its the circuit inside the pump that fails.

L33 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 or get a holden as on top gear last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It was quite common on 2.0 DTI engines, with Bosch pumps (symbol was VP44 or something similiar). 2003 Vectra with 2.2 DTI engine and you should be fine, those got newer pump of different type and they are not prone to failure.
