Jspec Germany Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Figured it out with a little help from the BFH. Anybody have a schematic for the wiring? Polarity wise there's a blue wire and black wire running to the pump. I didn't find this in any of the three threads and it's not in the instructions. I assume that black is black, and blue is red (standard) and that's how it appears in this thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=57473&highlight=walbro If this is wrong, please let me know before I blow myself up or destroy the pump. Actually by the time you post it will be too late. Oh well. *Fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Blue is power, black is ground. If I recall correctly Just track which wires go to which pins on the 5 pin plug that goes on top of the pump cage. Or multimeter it. Or if your car goes backwards instead of forwards you wired the pump the wrong way round -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) In a moment of madness (prolly made by big dose of sun at Santa Pod) I did swap my fuel pump too and did some pics during this simple and smelly job Some pics (according to points made by Matt) No 2. No. 3 No. 4 No. 5 No. 6 No. 8 and 9 I did use some plastic strap to hold pump in place properly. Enjoy Edited June 23, 2008 by Konrad (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Suprafly Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I've just fitted the walbro in a little over 45 minutes, great guide fellars! Next job is the FCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Would just like to 2nd Suprafly's comments, top guide here and managed to replace dead fuel pump (supplied by Keron) in about an hour and a half. Would point out that getting the big sealing ring off and back on again is a right pain and much easier with lubrication (sprayed WD40 on the inside of the ring) and it went on fairly quickly. So glad this was here and really appreciated Konrads pictures, they really helped to understand what's what Thanks again peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon5698 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Just followed these instructions, made fitting the fuel pump a breeze, the longest part was getting the securing ring to thread lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Putting that ring on's a right pita!! Still struggling now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Best to flip the ring over and look where the 'thread' begins.......look for the corresponding thread on the base and then flip the ring over so the thread is only an inch of two before the bases thread. Then do the 'both hands around the ring and screw on while pushing down thing' and if it doesn't catch just try again....and don't forget the WD40 mentioned above.

Chris Wilson Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 There are arrows to align to start the threads off, and to show when it's tight enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesard Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks Chris. Your "arrow" helped in aligning my "ring". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
