   As title says folks.. any difference between a Mk1 and a mk2 VTS fuel pump???
   
   My Mk2's went to the big Optimax lake in the sky... needing a new one to take it's place!!

   mk 2 will have a different fuel level sender so your fuel tank gauge will be out by 1/4 tank if you have a mk1 and vice versa but it will work fine apart from that

   can the sender and pump section be seperated??
   I.e- I'd like to retain my existing sender unit.......
   
   Also, I take it the same would be appicable to VTR fuel pumps????
   
   Cheers again.

   if your handy you can just remove the pump from the mk1 unit and put it in your mk2 sender its a little fiddly and just have to make sure you dont break the clips but its not that hard really 20 mins all in id say
   
   Hope that helps a little

   sure does!!
   I'll be careful with them both and will transfer the mk1 -> Mk2, this is basically the same set up as my Evo8.. did the same thing with the Walbro pump on that.
