hi guys,clio broke down last night, just out of the blue cut out and wouldn't re-start, after a think i couldn't hear the fuel pump priming when the ignition was on and a few relays started clicking in the fuse box under the bonnet.after a few trys the pump started working again but sounded very strained and tired, checked continuety and feed to the pump today and there good, is there a special tool i need to get into the top of the tank, also are they pretty straight forward to do? cheers |

tried that mate, think it may have been blocked or just worn out? |

the reason it works again is the pumps stopped where the commutator has worn through, the banging moves is and it should start working again. |
