OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 203 119 and Bosch 0 580 203 258 / Hüco 133509

Accuracy note: Covers the Ford C-Max (2010-2019) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. In-tank fuel pumps are sold two ways: as a complete feed unit (the pump in its swirl pot with the fuel-level sender and float) or as a bare pump that is fitted into the old housing, and petrol and diesel versions are not interchangeable — most diesels have only a low-pressure lift pump in the tank, with the high-pressure pump on the engine. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check fuel type, the plug pin count and whether your car has one sender or two (saddle tanks on 4x4 and some larger cars) against your VIN before ordering.

Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket)	Bosch 0 580 203 119 and Bosch 0 580 203 258 (electric in-tank feed units); Hüco 133509, Hüco 133506 and Hüco 132720 (petrol feed units with sender); Hüco 133481 (petrol feed unit with sender, article number to be confirmed by diagnostic tester); Hüco 133677 and Hüco 133128 (diesel feed units, 133677 with sender); Astemo 2503677 (diesel feed unit with sender) and Astemo 2503128 (diesel feed unit); Hella 8TF 358 148-621 (electric pre-supply pump, 3.5 bar, 2-pin, 12 V); ERA 775433A (feed unit, 3 bar / 100 l/h, 4-pin); ERA 775489A (feed unit, 4 bar / 100 l/h, 4-pin)
Types & variants	Four Hüco petrol modules cover the 1.0 EcoBoost, 1.6 Ti-VCT, 1.6 EcoBoost and the Flexifuel and LPG cars, one of which can only be identified with a diagnostic tester; the 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 TDCi diesels take a lift-pump module (Hüco 133677, Astemo 2503677) and there is also a separate Hella pre-supply pump for the diesel. Topran 306 104 is a swirl-pot module with lever sender; Ridex 1382F0405 is the sender module sold without a pump. Starq SQ222-07380 is a 3 bar / 140 l/h petrol module with pressure regulator.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Meat & Doria 77347E = 172026141R; Meat & Doria 77523E = 0580200064 (a Bosch number).
Fitment notes	The petrol module variant depends on engine and in one case on a code read from the car, so identify the old unit before ordering. Diesel cars have both an in-tank lift module and a pre-supply pump. Grand C-Max uses the same references.

A Genuine Diagnostic Step Worth Trying Before Assuming Pump Failure — Ford C-Max Fuel Pump

Before assuming the Ford C-Max's fuel pump itself has failed, it's worth trying a simple, genuinely useful check: with the ignition turned to "on" but the engine not yet started, you should hear a faint 2-3 second hum from the rear of the car as the pump primes the fuel system. If you hear nothing at all, check the fuel pump fuse first — commonly fuse F56 in the passenger cabin fuse box on many Ford models, though always confirm your specific car's fuse layout — before assuming the pump itself needs replacing. A blown fuse is a considerably cheaper fix, and it's a genuinely common cause that gets overlooked in favour of jumping straight to pump replacement.

General wear symptoms worth knowing: engine sputtering or hesitation under acceleration, a longer-than-usual crank before starting, a noticeable whining or buzzing noise from the rear of the car near the fuel tank, and stalling at low speeds or idle are the classic signs of a genuinely failing pump rather than a blown fuse or other simpler fault.

Ford C-Max Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

This is one of the more inconveniently timed failures the Ford C-Max can have — it tends to strand drivers mid-journey rather than politely failing while the car's parked on the drive. Recognising the early warning signs buys real time to sort it before you're stuck somewhere inconvenient.

Before you buy: fuel pump specifications vary by engine size and fuel type, and petrol/diesel versions are never interchangeable. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Ford C-Max Fuel Pump: What It Does

Delivering fuel from the tank to the engine at the correct pressure for combustion is the Ford C-Max's fuel pump's whole job. It lives inside the tank itself, submerged in fuel, which is exactly why replacing something this small is a more involved job than it looks.

Accuracy note: these are documented patterns by generation and engine family, not a substitute for confirming your exact engine code — always verify against your V5C before ordering, since petrol and diesel pumps are never interchangeable.

Mk2 (2010–2019), 1.0 EcoBoost petrol	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump
Mk2, 1.6 TDCi diesel	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
