Land Rover Discovery Sport Fuel Pump: OEM Part Number

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: Discovery Sport fuel pump part numbers vary by fuel type (petrol vs diesel) and sometimes by market, since fuel delivery pressure requirements differ — a pump correct for a diesel Discovery Sport will not work on the petrol equivalent even where other parts are shared.

Land Rover Discovery Sport Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Land Rover Discovery Sport, few component failures are as inconveniently timed as this one — it has a habit of stranding drivers mid-journey rather than giving a clean warning while the car is safely parked. Knowing the early signs buys valuable time to get it sorted before that happens.

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.

Land Rover Discovery Sport Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Land Rover Discovery Sport's fuel pump draws fuel from the tank and delivers it to the engine at the pressure required for proper combustion. Almost all modern versions sit inside the fuel tank itself, submerged in fuel, which is partly why access for replacement is more involved than the part's small size might suggest.

Land Rover Discovery Sport Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type

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.

2015 model year only, Ford-sourced 2.0 EcoBoost petrol & 2.2 Duratorq diesel	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
2016–present, 2.0 Ingenium diesel & petrol	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
2020–present, 1.5 Ingenium three-cylinder P300e PHEV	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 — the hybrid system doesn't change this; the combustion engine still needs its own fuel pump

A Genuinely Useful Piece of Context Worth Knowing About Fuel Pump Faults — Land Rover Discovery Sport Fuel Pump

If the engine keeps cutting out unexpectedly, this is genuinely worth knowing before assuming the pump itself is failing: documented cases on related Land Rover models describe this exact symptom traced to a corroded fuel pump relay, connector block, or feed wire, rather than a genuinely faulty pump.

A genuinely important finding worth knowing: a confirmed recall on a related Land Rover model addressed the high pressure fuel pump specifically, worth checking whether a similar issue has been identified on your model against the official recall register.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that engine cutting out has, in documented cases, led to the wrong pump being replaced entirely before the actual fault was correctly identified, worth having a proper diagnostic carried out first.
