I understand Mick that we may not have heard of it before & they usually do last a very long time
but there are not all that many wires powering the fuel pump.
I can't understand what other fault could make these pumps burn out.
I could understand something else blowing a fuse or something similar but not frying a fuel pump unless something is causing some random power surge
into the pump which I doubt because I think that would have shown up in other areas.
A replacement pump has fixed the problem every single time & they don't seem to have found any other fault codes.
I don't know but perhaps this particular model had a slightly different part number pump to most?
I doubt we will ever know what the exact problem is on this car.
Aftermarket pump would be top of my list Mick.
