The new unit looks redesigned. Maybe I'm just getting paranoid. Remember I owned a 930 once. And its 6 degrees out!! Preventive maintainance on my mind. New Harnesses arrived today!!

Default New Pump has hard plastic not rubber

When I replaced my fuel pump I noticed the short top rubber hose has been replaced with the hard plastic used on all the connections. My pump was making a high pitched sound the motor was on it's way out at only 24,000
miles on a 2004 GT3. Someone should find out if this would be a better
fix than the rubber.

If it's gonna break, it'll break at the worst possible moment. Like at an apex of a high speed sweeper just as you want to be putting down power with a buddy following right behind on the second lap of the session and they have to shut down your run groups time to get you off the track. Ask me how I know....

New pump installed. All I can say is I have peace of mind. It actually looked fine. I'll take photo later. If someone wants it $250 plus freight. Car has 31,000 miles
