Hi
Im on the look out for a series 1 fuel pump relay . can anyone point me in the direction of where to get one.
Or is there a way around it


thanks

 

Depends. Ford still stocks the pink relays which were also used for MK4 MFI Escorts. RS1600i had a different relay (black with a fuse on top) which is out of stock.

When you have trouble finding a correct one, you can also use any standard relay. But then you'll have to rewire it and might also use a different socket AND your fuel pump won't prime then.

 

unless you have a concourse type car I would fit a fuel pump re wire kit off the likes off matt lewis.

lets face it you could buy an expensive rare relay for it to fail in x amount of time or worse it dont work when you get it.

im constantly re wire pumps on many cars not just fords. They suffer with volt drops and high resistance at the best of times. 1v lower at the pump could cause a whole load of crap when tuning.

 

+1 for the rewire kit

 

Excuse my ignorance but what is the re wire kit?

Just had to replace the relay in mine

 

exactly what it sounds like.

a kit that re wires the fuel pump uaing a new relay and loom so no power is used on old wires for fuel system.

 

do these do away with original relay and cant seem to find them on matt lewis site anyone have a link

 

Any help would be appriciated im in the same boat my relay has given up
Thanks steve

 

I have 2 relays

 

Are they forsale ?
I would buy the pair are they silver
thanks steve

 

Purple are they the same?

 

Purple are S2, different pin output/design to S1.
Think S1 shared the same relay as Golf GTi's of the era (16v i think... maybe 8) so VW sources/forums are a good shout too

 

Thanks for that I believe there is a conversion available

 

Hello, these relays are easily fixable if you are good at soldering. I have repaired several for friends.

 

Thanks for the info all running correctly now
