02 2.0 HDi fuel pump location? - Ginocork
Hi there,

Can you please tell me where I would find the fuel pump on a Citroen C5 HDi 2002 model?

Is there a pump in the tank itself or is it under the back seat like in most Peugeots?

If anybody has pictures / etc on how to replace one that would be a huge help

Thanks.

Have to ask WHY??

The HDi is not something that you should be playing with the fuel pump on. As a common rail engine the pressures are dangerously high and there are specific precautions that should be taken when dismantling and assembling the fuel system.

If you dont know where the pump is then I would query your knowledge and ability to do anything with it when you find it.

On top of that the diagnosis of hdi engines is sufficiently complex that I would ask why you are wanting to play with the pump.

And which pump? Lift or high pressure?

There is a low pressure pump in the tank under the back seat which pumps diesel to the high pressure pump. I had a problem where this wasn't working but I ultimately found that the power to pump wasn't getting through due to a badly soldered pin on the mother board. Hope this helps.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
