OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Hüco 132712 / Delphi FE0429-12B1
| Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket) | Hüco 132712 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Delphi FE0429-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, 113 x 38 mm, without pressure sensor); Magneti Marelli 313011303051 (bare in-tank pump, 3.8 bar / 95 l/h); Blue Print ADG06816 (bare in-tank pump, 2-pin, 3 A, OE 17040-SR2-A33); ERA 770156A (bare in-tank pump, 4 bar / 80 l/h, 2-pin); ERA 770046A (bare in-tank pump, 3 bar, 2-pin, 50.5 mm body); Ridex 458F0005 (bare in-tank pump, 3.3 bar / 100 l/h, 38 mm body) |
|---|---|
| Types & variants | The Hüco 132712 is the only complete petrol feed unit with sender; everything else is a bare cartridge at 2.5-4 bar, plus a Maxgear 43-0219 unit with holder and an Esen SKV 02SKV297 in-tank pump. No diesel feed unit is listed for the Vitara, although the same 1.6 DDiS units offered for the S-Cross apply to the diesel Vitara. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | 17040-SR2-A33 (Blue Print ADG06816); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005) |
| Fitment notes | Petrol Vitaras use the same in-tank module family as the S-Cross, so the Hüco 132712 replaces the whole unit including sender, while a cartridge goes into the old housing and keeps the sender. Diesel owners need a separate low-pressure feed unit, not a petrol cartridge. |
Suzuki Vitara Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments
On the Suzuki Vitara, few faults pick a worse moment to happen than this one, which has a habit of leaving drivers stranded mid-journey rather than failing safely at home. Catching the early signs gives you a genuine head start before that happens to you.
Suzuki Vitara Fuel Pump: What It Does
On the Suzuki Vitara, fuel reaches the engine at the pressure combustion needs thanks to the fuel pump, which draws it straight from the tank. It sits submerged inside the tank itself, and that positioning is a big part of why replacement takes more effort than the part's size would suggest.
Suzuki Vitara Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type
| Grand Vitara (1998–2014), 1.9+ litre engines | 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 |
|---|---|
| Vitara IV/LY (2015–present), 1.3/1.6 petrol & 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 |

Confirmed: Two Genuine UK Safety Recalls Worth Checking Your Car Against — Suzuki Vitara Fuel Pump
This is genuinely worth checking directly on your specific car: Suzuki has issued a confirmed recall affecting certain Vitara 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 ownership history.

These are the same regardless of make or model — see our full Fuel Pump Guide for symptoms to watch for (including the low-pressure vs high-pressure distinction on direct-injection engines), confirming fitment against your VIN, and OE suppliers worth knowing.
