How to Remove the Fuel Pump on an Opel Vectra C

Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra C, MK 3 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Fuel pump

This simple guide shows you how to remove the low-pressure fuel pump or the fuel sender unit on an Opel Vectra C, second series. First, open the rear doors and remove the rear seat to access the pump; then remove the upper cover. At this point, disconnect the fuel pipes and the electrical connector for the fuel level sensor; all that's left is to unscrew the pump retaining ring using the appropriate tool or by tapping with a flat screwdriver: pull out the old pump and replace it with the new one!
