Hi All,
About 3 years ago I had a problem with my 2002 1.4 Berlingo Mulitspace. It would cut out dead when driving, coast to a stop and then re-start. This changed to stopping and not starting at all. Pulling off the fuel connector to the fuel rail showed no fuel so Mr AA pulled the car to a local garage. The car is disabled converted so has a different (smaller, metal) tank. Tank taken out and pump was in a poor way so new one fitted along with, they said, a fuel pump relay. All then fine for 3 years.
Moved from UK to Ireland last year so can't go back to speak to the merry man that did the work but the car has just had a couple of brief cut-outs (a few seconds) and I wonder if it is the beginning of a repeat of the above. I checked fuel supply to rail and it initially, as expected, squirts for a few seconds to prime the system and squirts continuously if the engine is then cranked.
So, I then tried to find the pump relay and from what I could find out it should be at the engine bay fuse box, which it isn't. Lifted the fuse assembly out of its housing and there's nothing underneath it either.
Can't hear any click when I operate the key but can hear the pump operate. Thought I'd get a spare relay and pump as I live out in the wilds, and can find a relay (nonABS), but where does it go???
Also the fuses in the box are not numbered so not sure which fuse is for pump, which would be useful to know.
Cheers!
