    I think my fuel pump just died.

    Started the avant just now, it ran for about 30secs and then died, cranking over but not firing, checked ECU fuses both good (I'd just changed ECUs so immediatle suspected I'd done something..). Pulled the top off the fuel pump relay and pushed the contacts together, no sound of pump. Tried cranking and relay pulls in but no sound of pump.
    There's no "aftermarket wiring" left in the car

    Dead fuel pump then?

    Which 2 wires out of the 4 in the back do I meter to make sure its powering up?

      Top tip!

      Its a bit of a nuisance as I've lent the ur to a mate and the coupe needs a throttle cable and an MOT.. I'll just have to ride motorbikes!

          Definitely dead, I get a solid 12v at the connector but the pump is silent

          Need an uprated pump, either RS2 or 044 motorsport pump.
