Product Description

The Arrowhead FP2159 Mechanical Fuel Pump is designed to deliver reliable fuel flow for carburetted Volkswagen vehicles. This mechanical fuel pump is a direct replacement for models that use a lever-actuated fuel supply system, ensuring consistent fuel delivery to the carburettor for optimal engine performance. With a robust metal construction and two hose fittings, it is engineered for durability and proper fitment in your Volkswagen.

This fuel pump is suitable for various Volkswagen models equipped with carburettor engines. It is important to confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure proper compatibility before ordering.

Common symptoms of a failing mechanical fuel pump include engine stalling, difficulty starting, hesitation during acceleration, reduced power, and visible fuel leaks. If you notice these issues, your fuel pump may need replacement to restore normal operation.

Replace your mechanical fuel pump if you experience erratic fuel delivery, loss of power, or persistent starting problems. Regular inspection is recommended, especially on older carburetted vehicles, to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
