OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 986 580 908 / Hüco 133518

Accuracy note: Covers the Hyundai i20 (2014-2020) 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)	Hüco 133518 (complete fuel feed unit, petrol, with sender); Hüco 133362 (bare pump, petrol, 3.8 bar); Bosch 0 986 580 908 (in-tank pump module with mounting and connector parts); Delphi FE0796-12B1 (bare pump, petrol, 113 mm, metal housing, without pressure sensor); Delphi FE0449-12B1 (bare pump, petrol, 116 mm, metal housing, without pressure sensor); Magneti Marelli 313011313206 (fuel supply module, 3 bar / 170 l/h); Meyle 37-14 919 0001 (bare pump, petrol, 3 bar / 95 l/h, 2 pins); Meat & Doria 76385 (bare pump, 3.5 bar / 90 l/h)
Types & variants	Petrol 1.2 and 1.4 MPi cars take a 3 to 3.5 bar bare pump or the Hüco 133518 module; the 1.0 T-GDI direct-injection engine still uses the same low-pressure in-tank feed (around 3.8 bar, Hüco 133362) with its high-pressure pump on the engine. The 1.1 and 1.4 CRDi diesels appear in the engine menu but no diesel lift unit is listed.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	3111137300 (Meat & Doria 76385, Hoffer 7506385); 311110M000 (Kamoka 8410007); 170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416, Hoffer 7506416); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005).
Fitment notes	Petrol only. Bare pumps fit into the original module and keep the sender; the Hüco 133518 replaces the whole feed unit with its sender. Delphi pumps come without seal or pressure sensor, so re-use or renew the tank ring seal.

A Genuinely Important Habit Worth Building: Checking for Open Recalls — Hyundai i20 Fuel Pump

Hyundai has issued multiple genuine, confirmed fuel pump recalls across various models and years, including issues with both the low-pressure in-tank pump and, on some turbocharged models, the high-pressure pump connection not being properly torqued during assembly — creating a genuine fuel leak and fire risk in the affected cases. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against Hyundai's official recall checker directly, particularly on a used car where you can't be certain a previous owner had any relevant recall work completed.

A genuinely useful, real set of fault codes worth knowing: P0087 and P0088 relate to fuel rail pressure being too low or too high respectively, while P0190 through P0193 relate to the fuel pressure sensor circuit itself — worth mentioning these specific codes if a scan tool shows a fuel-related fault, since they can help narrow down whether the issue is genuinely the pump or the sensor monitoring it.

It's also worth knowing the documented symptoms worth watching for: engine hesitation or a "bucking" feeling during acceleration, noticeably longer crank times when starting, and difficulty accelerating under load such as merging or climbing hills — worth having these looked at promptly if you notice them, rather than waiting for a complete failure.

Hyundai i20 Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Hyundai i20, this particular failure has a knack for terrible timing, stranding drivers mid-journey instead of giving fair warning while the car's parked up safely. Spotting the early signs early enough is what stands between a routine fix and a roadside breakdown.

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.

Hyundai i20 Fuel Pump: What It Does

Getting fuel from tank to engine at the correct combustion pressure is down to the fuel pump, and on the Hyundai i20 that pump sits inside the tank, submerged in fuel. That location is exactly why swapping out such a small part is rarely a quick job.

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.

PB (2008–2014), Kappa/older petrol	Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine
GB/BC3 (2014–present), all petrol & diesel incl. N Line	Spans both diesel (in-tank lift pump plus an engine-mounted high-pressure pump) and petrol (in-tank low-pressure pump, plus a separate high-pressure pump if direct-injection) variants — confirm your exact engine before ordering
