Just wanted to share pics of the replacement of two fuel pumps, the fuel accumulator and 4 hangers
Opened up the cover protecting the assembly:
Replace those hangers, they're cheap!
Old hoses
Old and new: fuel accumulator (notice the new one has a slightly longer body, but shorter tube; in contrast the old one has a shorter body but longer tube - same overall length though) - upgraded design?
Old and new: fuel pumps
This old one looks tired, but still ran well except for the weeping fuel
Probably original? Still has MB logo
Brand new Cohline-made hose, sold by MB
Brand new Bosch fuel pumps
Everything installed, ready to be buttoned up
We also replaced the differential oil
No more clunking when downshifting! No more fuel smell either. Starts right up also, no stumbling at startup. Hopefully this increases MPG slightly also.
