interesting Bosch 044 info

So as a few of you know, I am in the process of a low dollar build, nothing fancy. After digging around for various Walbaro 255 or Bosch 044 pumps, I decided to search to see what cars the Bosch 044 pump came on. Low and behold from I can gather it came stock a quite a few cars. The part number for the 044 is 0 580 254 044, which is an external pump.

 

I search for the part number on this cross reference list and found that the 044 pump has an alternative part number of GCL606 which I found in this cross reference chart:

Shockingly the pump has been found in various Porsches, Afla Ramero, Peugot's. The find is that they also came in Volvo's that came in the 2.0/2.3 Turbo engines. I found the complete list of vehicles that came with the GLC606 through this link:

I found a salvage yard that specializes in Volvos and offers 100 day warranty for their parts and I have one shipped to my door for $50. I am keeping the car N/A for the time being and that will give me plenty of time to piss around with cheaper fuel pumps. It's a normal thing for the 700 series volvos to have 200-300k mileage.

 

I may have stumbled on a way to save some while keeping genuine German part quality. As I find out more, I will post what I find.

I agree with you, but if the AFR and fuel pressure is monitored then wouldn't it lower the chances of error? The strategy is if I'm not seeing the numbers for margin of error I want then keep it home till it's fixed.
