Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I don't know how much more involved pulling the fuel pump from the original housing would have been, but replacing the entire housing with the fuel pump already installed sure did make this an easy 'pull-and-drop' installation. ** UPDATE: See below **
The reason I changed the entire housing is because I have an 04 Sentra SE-R Spec V and there was a Nissan service bulletin (NTB05-052a) which was a fuel-pump repair kit. The repair kit itself was over $200 from the dealer, plus my fuel pump was not maintaining adequate pressure, so not only was this easier to install, but also saved me quite a bit of money as well.
I didn't want to install the Nissan-branded fuel pump because it is known to have issues and need replacing every ~60K miles. I went with Bosch for ease of installation and company reputation.
I recommend this kit if you have an 04-06 Sentra and have been plagued with any kind of hard-starting issue and/or fuel pressure issue that might be observed by a drop in engine RPMs.
** UPDATE: you will have to do a bit of wiring since the new fuel pump housing does NOT include the Fuel Temperature Sensor, although it is shown in the picture (at the very bottom of the fuel pump housing (Blue and Black wires). The housing comes bare and also with no instructions! It's definitely misleading since the picture clearly shows the Temperature sensor in-place. If you're getting the P0183 after installation, this is your issue. Transfer the Fuel Temp Sensor over from your old Fuel Pump housing and your code should be cleared and not return. I threw my old housing away too soon and had to pick up the part from the Junk Yard-- 35 miles away! Hard lesson learned.
*** 2nd UPDATE: I contacted Bosch AutoPart Customer Service and was able to talk with a Bosch parts specialist: The Bosch 69701 Electric Fuel pump does NOT have support for CA emissions, hence the lack of Fuel Tank Temp Sensor. The 69701 is only made for Federal Emissions vehicles. Therefore Bosch does not supply the Fuel Tank Temperature Sensor and 69701 is actually not compatible with my 04 Sentra SE-R Spec V.
