This is the continuation of previous post.

The pump was send to my friend, where the car was left and he has to arrange a local mechanic to change it. And after a couple of days I was told, that the pump was changed and the car is ready, but the mechanic wasn’t able to source a fuel filter on time, which was requested by me… I go to that town to pick up the car. After start up of engine I noticed, that new external fuel pump is quieter that previous one even before that issue, which is a good thing. But after some time and driving the new pump become noisier. I said to me, ok look like there is something else and probably my assumption was not correct. As it have to be waited 2 weeks at least for another known by my friend local mechanic in and around this town to have time to check it and I don’t wanted to drive it to city where I live, which is around 80km from there and car’s mechanic is far far away, I decided the car to be transported to one service shop specialised in Alfa Romeo in the city where I live. And after talk with them the car was transported directly to their place. After a couple of days they call me and told me, that in-tank fuel pump is dead. They replaced it with a Bosch unit with fuel filter filter also this time. There was another two things, which I'm requested from them to look and work on - steering column was not firmly locked in up-down position and driver side external door handle was opening the door almost if not in its up-most position. As you know, external door handles are well known issue for this model. They start to open the door more and more toward their top position and when they reach it people start to push them more to open the door and at some point they broke. In the winter they broke easier. And now these handles are not easily available. They have fixed both and and after some time told, that they are ready and I can get the car.

Normally I show new parts, but this time will be different. Here are old parts, which I get from them.
This is failed Magneti Marelli in-tank fuel pump.

It is strange, that it failed as it was installed just a couple of years ago. It just fills up fuel surge tank and not build pressure in the fuel rail agains fuel pressure regulator as originally.

This is previous external external in-line fuel pump, which may not be broken, but may be damaged.

This is old mechanism for open and lock of drivers door, which they changed. Now door start to open right after you pull the handle.

I want to clarify here, that part number ending with 200 as on the picture above is for the package replacement for old ‘044’ pump. And pump only item ends with 150. This was mentioned in some of the articles, which I also posted, I think.

Here is the package of newly installed in-tank fuel pump.
