Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a qualified mechanic in a well-ventilated area, away from sources of ignition. Before beginning, ensure the fuel tank is drained to a safe level. Follow these general guidelines:

  1. Compatibility Check: Verify that your vehicle's current part number matches 16 11 7 159 161 or 16 11 7 197 077 to ensure perfect mechanical and electrical compatibility.
  2. Cleanliness: Ensure the area around the fuel tank access port is cleaned thoroughly before removing the old unit to prevent debris from entering the fuel system.
  3. Seal Integrity: Always use the provided gasket and seal to ensure a leak-proof closure.
  4. Care: Avoid using the fuel pump while the tank is empty, as this can overheat the electric components. Regularly check your fuel filter during the installation to ensure the new pump isn't compromised by upstream contaminants.
