OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 454 094 / Hüco 132712
| Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket) | Hüco 132712 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Astemo 2503273 (complete feed unit with sender, diesel); Hüco 133273 (complete feed unit with sender, diesel); VDO A2C53099636Z (complete feed unit with lever-type sender, diesel, 4.5 bar, 12 V); Meat & Doria 77232 (complete module, 4.5 bar, OE 71746882); Bosch 0 580 454 094 (bare in-tank pump); Delphi FE0429-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, 113 x 38 mm, without pressure sensor) |

| Types & variants | This is one of the few listings with proper complete feed units. The petrol module is the Hüco 132712; the 1.6 DDiS diesel takes a separate 4.5 bar feed unit with lever sender (Astemo 2503273, Hüco 133273, VDO A2C53099636Z, Meat & Doria 77232, Hoffer 7507232, Metzger 2250466, Ridex 1382F0300). The remaining 38 mm cartridges are generic petrol pumps for fitting into the original housing. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | 71746882 (Meat & Doria 77232, Hoffer 7507232); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005); 8941674933 (Meat & Doria 76041) |
| Fitment notes | Petrol and diesel units are not interchangeable: the diesel feed unit is a low-pressure lift pump with sender feeding the engine high-pressure pump, while the petrol module runs at injection pressure. The OE number 71746882 is a Fiat reference, reflecting the shared Fiat-sourced 1.6 diesel. Complete modules replace the sender as well, so the gauge is reset with the new unit. |
Suzuki SX4 S-Cross Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments
Rather than failing conveniently while parked, this component on the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross tends to give up mid-journey, which is about the worst possible moment. Learning to recognise the early symptoms is the best defence against being caught out.
Suzuki SX4 S-Cross Fuel Pump: What It Does
The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross's fuel pump function — pulling fuel from the tank and pressurising it for the engine — is straightforward, but its usual location isn't: it sits submerged inside the tank itself, which is precisely why access for replacement is more work than the part's size suggests.

Confirmed: Two Genuine UK Safety Recalls Worth Checking Your Car Against — Suzuki SX4 S-Cross Fuel Pump
This is genuinely worth checking directly on your specific car: Suzuki has issued a confirmed recall affecting certain 2023 SX4 S-Cross models, addressing a fuel pump where the resinous material used isn't dense enough, allowing it to deform and come into contact with the pump housing. This can cause the pump to fail, potentially resulting in the engine stalling and increasing the risk of an accident — a genuinely safety-critical fault worth checking your VIN against directly with Suzuki or an authorised dealer.
It's worth knowing both of these are genuine, confirmed manufacturer recalls rather than anecdotal forum reports, and any work carried out under either recall should be completely free of charge regardless of the car's age or whether you're the first or a subsequent owner.
