OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 454 094 / Hüco 133283

Accuracy note: Covers the Hyundai ix35 (2010-2015) 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 133283 (complete fuel feed unit, diesel, with sender); Delphi FG2482-12B1 (complete fuel pump module, 310 x 115.5 x 134 mm, 1.1 kg, without pressure sensor, without seal); Bosch 0 580 454 094 (bare in-tank pump); Magneti Marelli 313011313222 (fuel supply module); Ridex 458F0069 (bare diesel pump, 3.2 bar / 130 l/h, 2 connectors, 43 mm); Ridex 458F13718 (in-tank pump, petrol, 3.8 bar, 185 x 60 mm); Meat & Doria 76416 (bare pump, 3 bar / 95 l/h); ERA-pattern Engitech ENT100053 (bare pump, 4 bar / 125 l/h, 2 connectors, 54.5 mm, 188 mm).
Types & variants	the 1.6 GDi and 2.0 petrol take a 3 to 3.8 bar bare pump or the Delphi FG2482-12B1 module.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005); 170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416); 8941674933 (Meat & Doria 76041, a 0.1 bar carburettor pump that does not suit this car). The gasket OE numbers 22442-2GGB0 and 22442-2G700 belong to seals, not pumps.
Fitment notes	Choose petrol or diesel first; the diesel module is a lift pump with sender and the petrol unit runs at higher pressure. Bare pumps (Ridex, Bosch, Meat & Doria) go into the original housing and keep the sender; the Hüco and Delphi modules replace the whole unit. The Delphi module is supplied without a seal, so order the tank ring separately.

A Genuinely Important Habit Worth Building: Checking for Open Recalls — Hyundai ix35 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 ix35 Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

This is one of the more inconveniently timed failures the Hyundai ix35 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.

Hyundai ix35 Fuel Pump: What It Does

Delivering fuel from the tank to the engine at the correct pressure for combustion is the Hyundai ix35'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.
