As above, can the pump ecu be removed in situ? Or does the pump need to come out first?

Ta muchly...

Its fiddly but the VP44 EDC module can be removed whilst the pump remains in situ.

Good to know fiddly I can cope with, just don't fancy pump removal much tbh...

The fiddly bit is the wires to the rear on the Omega, I cut them off as low as I can and then with the module removed, extend them to make re-fit much easier.

Nice one Mark

As previously stated by Mark it can be done but a bit fiddly.

I have a PDF on removing it from a company that repairs the edu if it is of any use.

I sourced it in case mine went kaput!

Not comprehensive but useful if you are going to tackle it.

Let me know.

The wider industry and indeed the DIY types tend to be scared of diesels, cant say it bothers me now having worked on a fair few.

For the VP44, once the EDC has had a good repair they tend to be bulletproof (there not bad to start with in reality), the only other real issue is on some early pumps where they were not well de-burred (did not seem to affect the Omega) and the internal shaft would shear causing a dead stop. Fit a fuel priming bulb to the filter feed pipe (reduces pump damage due to leak back and filter changes where the diagphram in the pump can rupture) and check the vac pipes once a year and there pretty bullet proof.
