Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The pump no longer appears as it does in the picture. I have a previous version that was exactly as pictured. The new one is smaller, features crimps all around the top, and comes with an accordion type of plastic sleeve to allow it to fit in applications where the previous pump fit perfectly.
In my application, an '81 DeLorean, I wrapped the accordion sleeve with the wrist half of a nitrile glove to provide a vapor barrier, as the new design would allow air and fluid to slosh up to the contacts area if I used it with the plastic sleeve alone. The old (pictured) design was much easier to install, and provided more peace of mind regarding the security of the installation.
Were it not for the Bosch box marked with the part number, and other mentions of a new design I've read online, I would have thought I received the wrong part. As it stands, it is not an optimal replacement design, but it works, and it has pumped fuel perfectly as expected in the few days I've been running it since installation. For function, it earns stars; for fit and accuracy, it loses stars, hence my rating of 3.
