Is it possible to just change the seal on a mk2 mondeo diesel fuel pump?

I have taken the car to the garage, and they have told me that the fuel pump seal is broken, but they want a lot (拢拢拢's) to get a new pump. Can I change the pump for a second-hand one (breakers yard) or even just change the seal?



Any help would be appreciated!

no A pump is regulated and tested after it is reconditioned and they will not only change the seal that has failed but put an entire seal kit on it. If one seal has failed the chances are others may be on the way out so just replacing one seal is a false economy.I am not sure if you can just swap components over nowadays as most cars engine management systems are computer controlled and the average home mechanic does not have the equipment to carry out the work .Your best bet would be to acquire a Haynes manual if it says you can do it in their then you probably can if not it is best left to the experts.Get a few quotes or personal recommendations are better but remember the cheapest are cheap for a reason and you may find you have serious problems on your car you did not realise that have to be fixed.

used pumps are a risk, repaired ones are expensive, new ones are more expensive. Only the latter two are reliable. NB ebay is your friend.
Take it to a fuel injection specialist they can recondition it for you
