Safety Recall - Fuel Pump

[monkeydave]

Please keep us updated when will they get the new pump for you. My Jazz was three months in a dealer after the pump failed permanently, because the new pump took that long to arrive.

I got a phone call from the Honda garage today.  Spare part has arrived and job is booked for 23rd January

how did the fix go for your pump, any smells or spills on the seats and your fuel gauge still working ok?

how much fuel did you leave in the tank when you took it in? and how long did the job take, thanks

I don't know how long the job took, because it was done on Honda's expense. If I remember correct it is supposed to take about two hours. After the change of the pump, my car was exactly like before, except it was running. I think the tank was about half full.

Garage asked me to run the tank down as much as possible before bringing car to them so there were 2 bars showing on the fuel gauge 

No smells or spillage on the interior  (the centre consol has to come out to access the pump).  Seemed to be a neat and tidy job,  everything back in place.  After I left the garage I filled the tank - fuel gauge working as normal. 

I don't know how long the job took - car went into garage in the morning and I got a phone call at lunch time to say it was ready.  Garage had previously said about a couple of hours,  so that sounds about right

This was a precautionary recall -  the car was not showing any symptoms of fuel problems before it went into the garage and is running OK afterwards

I had a look and thought the pump access is under the rear seats,  just lift them up and there's a cut section in the carpet for access
I may be wrong.....

thanks for your reply, i have not heard from my dealer as yet, i think i will wait till nearer my service time and get it done at the same time as the service in september as i dont do many miles as i have a second car, also my car is running normal at the moment

Ah right,  thanks for the info.

I took my car in for the fuel pump recall on Tuesday. I asked the Technician what works were carried out and he confirmed that
I purchased the fuel filter online from Cox Motor Parts (£74.90 including delivery) and the dealership charged me 0.2 hours labour (£28.80) for the additional work in changing it over (I discussed this with them beforehand and they were happy for me to buy the fuel filter from Cox Motor Parts, which was very slightly cheaper than if I had purchased it from them). I did question why it would take them 0.2 additional hours on the day and the Technician said he had to change some leads over that he wouldn't otherwise of had to. Although I thought this was slightly dubious, I paid up as I knew this was much cheaper than if I paid for this job separately in a year's time.

Isn't the fuel filter an integral part of the fuel pump assembly immersed in the fuel tank?
Since the fuel pump is being replaced as part of the recall then there is no need to pay extra for a filter, which is a part of the new fuel pump!?

They only replace the actual pump motor, not the whole assembly which comes with the fuel filter. See this video for details on the replacement procedure

[monkeydave]

they tried to charge me for a fuel filter on my service in sept 2024, as the car was 6 years old,  but they must have known about the recall at that time

hopefully they will replace the fuel filter for free under recall like this guy or a charge just for the part to be fitted at the same time

Thanks.
So the actual filter is just the flimsy piece of fabric attached to the bottom of the pump motor. The rest is just plastic assembly with pipes and wires.
So "2robbie2" bought the whole lot with his own money and made replacement easier and they still charged him extra for labour for what should've been a free recall replacement.
Isn't that a proper scam?

sounds like it doesn't it. when this mechanic is taking it to pieces there are a lot of things to break like the clips etc or things get missed, it might be best to leave it till you get problems starting

I understand it’s for the fuel pump but it appears to be only for the 1.3 engine, nothing showing up for my Sport.

Just had an MOT on my 1.5 sport and the recall is showing.
