    While I agree with you Ed about the dealer reselling the vehicle etc, reckon there must be some other underlying problem with that vehicle!! Cause it's un heard of a stock oem pump failing soo many times. Our Cal Vee 6L had zero issues with fuel pump in all the time we had it, these things usually last 150-200K's no problems!

    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.

    Yep we will never know but the car is now sold to someone else (the 2nd owner had it for under 3 months). Now on its 3rd owner and pump number 11. Something tells me this problem is going to go on and on.

    Yes Paul, obviously Holden just doing exactly the same thing over & over expecting a different result has not worked.

    Pity it never got sorted out for you mate, the GTS is a very nice car normally.
