am I missing something here?
On RockAuto its cheaper to buy a COMPLETE Delphi brand assembly compared to just the Delphi brand pump...
how does that math compute?

If you buy just the pump, they need to remove the pump from the assembly so there's more labor involved.

:bustingup

Who here has replaced your proactively....

After reading so many threads on this, I did mine about 18 months ago, just because. Went with the whole assembly. It wasn't that much more expensive, in the grand scheme of things

^^I'm about to do mine preventatively - for $200 - I already have a new fuel filter -

Might wanna crack open the other side and change the "o ring" on the syphon pump (this is what i read goes when it stops syphoning??), I wish I did this when I had the other side open, small part cost, and my hands already stunk of gas.

That's only if you did not replace the assembly. At 100+ miles I presume/assume for everyone who is changing them...makes sense to me to have fresh plastic than old. Besides, priceless to just remove seat, deadener, wire and hose. Remove unit and reverse.

I hate the stink of gas and it seems impossible to get the smell out once you got it on you.

has anyone here run a DELPHI brand pump assembly? It's $166 CAD compared to $199 USD. thats like $1000 difference in canadian :) just kidding but it is substantially cheaper really ($100CAD). BUT if bad reviews say so I'll buy a Pierburg.

Delphi is an OEM supplier. I even bought Delphi coils one time and they literally were BMW coils. The bmw logo had been ground off. I wouldn't hesitate to use Delphi and save some money.

That's my thoughts too Dean.

edit: So I bought it and I have a good feeling. I've always seen good products from Delphi.
