044 fuel pump pictures
need some help, I've bought a new apparently genuine fuel pump, looked it over and the Box says made in Czech Republic the letters look like they are stamped in properly, but there is some crappy plastic bag with some cheap looking terminals in them, and there is no helicoil in it.
if anyone has any pics of genuine ones they have bought recently would be a good help! thanks!
I didn't pay the proper money for it which is making me think it's not genuine.

Harry this is the link to the Chinese fakes, very close match but as you say there is a low quality feel to them.

I got 2 from Matt Lewis Last week, I'll get pics when home, I still have the fakes. Biggest clue is the no helicoil.

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Think I may have been caught out as well, mine looks good apart from supposing to have a helicoil in the inlet which mine doesn't.
Any one have a picture of the inlet hole.

Been looking for a photo of this helicoil in the inlet but no luck mine looks same as your photo.
Will be taking my original one of car next week so will wait until then before I kick off.

Inlet from pump delivered last week from Matt Lewis with helicoil present
Left is the fake pump
Did read that terminals were meant to brass, not the case on 5 genuine pumps checked
Focus on the top of outlet in this pic, of-center hole, smaller hole, poor quality fitting
Notice the casting marks, smaller one missing on the fake
Bag says bosch across the sealing join from Matt Lewis, fake had nothing
General poor quality
Banding at different level

Surely you realise it's moody when a Ł150 pump is being sold for Ł80, they shouldn't brand it as bosch I know.
Has anyone actually tried one yet?
I buy knock of pattern parts all the time I have to as an example I ordered a ball gear 4 weeks ago cat was Ł3500 for genuine! That's just 1 gear it has it has 8 gears just in the final drives! I got an Italian made cgr brand for Ł600 although no doubt they are really made in China we've had good luck with cgr overall worth the savings.

Out of interest.
Has anyone bought one of the cheap pumps the likes of Demon Tweeks now sell, claiming to be an 044 replacement or equivalent ? They're dirt cheap, although at least they arent pretending to be a genuine 044.
Considering the 044 is decades old, and is still at the top of the game when it comes to fuel pumps, nobody has been able to match it's performance...it does beggar belief that anyone would claim to have an equivalent for a fraction of the cost.
Also very annoying at the amount of fakes out there too !

FSE have been around for a very long time, but even that advert isnt quite clear as to what they are selling.
Visually it is not an 044, Bosch dont usually paint theirs black, plus it seems to have an alternative marking on the pump itself ?
But they seem to be advertising it as an 044 ?
Would be interesting to see more detailed pics of that one

Webpage is more than a bit misleading then. Whilst they list a different part number ( as they do with all their pumps ), they do say the pump is the Bosch 044 too.
If it is not a genuine 044, then surely that advert/listing is not legal ?

Any pictures of it to see how it appears externally compared to the others ?
It is possible the design has changed, but I guess without someone testing or opening one up...going to be hard to say
Other recent thread with various links and photos.
