Anyone got a DW8 with a factory fitted Bosch pump?

Post by kenbw2 »

My endless search for a Bosch pump I can fit to my Lucas-inflicted 1999 DW8 Dispatch continues.

I've managed to source a couple of pumps but neither of them have injector pipes. I rang the Citroen dealer and to my amazement a new set of pipes is only £53!

Trouble is he can only look up the part number from a reg/vin. Mine being factory fitted with a Lucas, he can only tell me the Lucas pipes part number.

Does anyone here have a factory fitted DW8 Bosch pump for me to find out the part number for the pipes?

The more I read about these pumps, the less I understand, e.g. I assumed the later engine would have the later pump but, no, it seems both engines could have either pump. What decided which pump any vehicle got? Or was it whatever was available at the time?

It is a Citroen. There is NO logic whatsoever!

The price quoted is for a DW8 Lucas pipe set. I'm assuming it's similar for Bosch pipes.

Hen's teeth indeed. I've just been on Peugeot ServiceBox though and found the DW8 Bosch pipes on a Berlingo/Partner. I've confirmed that it has the same Lucas parts between the Dispatch and Partner:
Expert DW8 Lucas Pipes: 1570 81 INJECTION PIPE HARNESS 12X150

Berlingo DW8 Bosch Pipes: 1570 87 INJECTION PIPE HARNESS 12X150
Berlingo DW8 Lucas Pipes: 1570 81 INJECTION PIPE HARNESS 12X150
So I think I'm sorted! Phone call to Citroen tomorrow...

Soooooh - it's the Hillman Avenger ignition syndrome: even the VIN wouldn't help correctly identify, e.g. points.
