|---|---|
| Types & variants | No complete swirl-pot module with level sender is offered for either generation, and nothing is listed specifically for the 2.0D diesel. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | 170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416, Hoffer 7506416); 3111137300 (Meat & Doria 76385, Hoffer 7506385); 142504 (Kamoka 8410016); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005) |
| Fitment notes | The XV uses a petrol in-tank feed unit with integral level sender; the cartridges listed here are fitted into the original housing, keeping the sender, so check body diameter (38 mm or 52 mm), outlet size and connector before ordering. The OE numbers quoted are other makers' references, not Subaru numbers, so confirm fitment against the original pump. |
Subaru Crosstrek Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments
On the Subaru Crosstrek, there's rarely a convenient time for this to fail — it tends to strike mid-journey rather than while the car's sitting safely on the drive. Knowing what the early symptoms look like buys valuable time to get ahead of it.
Subaru Crosstrek Fuel Pump: What It Does
The job here is simple in principle — draw fuel from the tank, deliver it to the engine at the right pressure — but the Subaru Crosstrek's fuel pump sits submerged inside the tank, which makes physical access for replacement far more involved than the small part itself implies.
Subaru Crosstrek Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type
| 2012–present, 2.0/2.5 naturally-aspirated, incl. hybrid | 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 Important Habit Worth Building: Checking for Open Recalls — Subaru Crosstrek Fuel Pump
Subaru has faced a genuinely massive, confirmed fuel pump recall spanning nearly 200,000 vehicles across multiple models and model years, including a confirmed UK recall for certain Foresters, addressing a Denso-manufactured low-pressure fuel pump impeller defect that can cause the engine to stall while driving. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against the official recall register directly, particularly on a used car where you can't be certain a previous owner had any relevant recall work completed.
It's also genuinely worth knowing that a class-action settlement in relation to this issue has provided an extended warranty specifically covering the fuel pump on affected models, reportedly up to 15 years or 150,000 miles — worth asking a dealer directly whether any extended coverage applies to your specific car.
