Sooo, my fuel pump went out. What's the average cost to have this repaired? I'm in the Southern California area by Temecula and have a great mechanic (but references are always welcome.
Thanks,

 

Hi JZjaguar,

It's impossible to give an accurate reply without knowing the year and model of your Jaguar. It's a great idea to add the year, model and engine details to your signature line so others don't have to ask.

Depending on which Jag you own, your fuel pump may be inside or outside the fuel tank, and your car may have one pump or two.

Also, in addition to the fuel pump itself, there are other components that can cause a failure of fuel delivery, such as the fuel pump relay, etc. These components also depend on the year, model and engine of your Jag.

Cheers,

Don

 

Sorry, I thought it was in my signature. I have a 2002 CXJ8 or 308 Vanden Plas

 

What are the symptoms and how was fuel pump failure diagnosed? Has your mechanic ruled out the fuel pump relay (R4 in the trunk fuse box), the pump fuse (fuse #7, 20A, in the trunk fuse box), corrosion on the electrical connector to the pump/evaporative flange, corrosion on the ground point referenced by the pump (right rear side of trunk), control power to the fuel pump relay (fuse #16, 10A, in the LH heelboard fuse box), or other possible causes of no fuel delivery, such as the fuel injection relay?

Cheers,

Don

 

I had to replace my fuel pump on my 2002 xj sport a few years ago. AAA runs the bill at around $800

 

I charge 4 hours labor plus the part.
There might be additional labor if the fuel tank is full so draining might be a consideration.
It is not difficult if you have done a few dozen.

I had mine fail. Found a bad fuse. Replaced the fuse but no-go. Shipped it off to the mechanic. About $900 (USA California $$). They found a fried harness too.
