Default Fuel Pump Life Span

Hey all,

My fuel pump finally died. I should clarify and say the car cranked but would not turn over (start). The techs diagnosed and once they tapped on the pump the car actually started - their recommendation was to replace. It was replaced today with just about 214,700+ miles on it - the original one. Just a data point for the rest of you. T2

I'd say you got your money's worth out of that fuel pump

t2...would love to see current pics of your car. like to see how well the exterior and interior has held up after 214k miles. i also can imagine that the new england winters are not too friendly to any car either.

thanks, manny.

Manny,

Try this thread - it has some recent pics of the exterior and odometer - interior is in great shape still considering the mileage. I'll try and dig up some other pics as well. T2
