OEM Part Number: 7506416 (as quoted in catalogue listings — confirm via VIN) — aftermarket fuel pumps Bosch 0 580 314 097 / Pierburg 7.07795.69.0

Accuracy note: Covers the Vauxhall Grandland X (2017-) 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)	Pierburg 7.07795.69.0 (in-tank feed unit, 5 bar, 1 connector, 9 A, 210 mm); Metzger 2250716 (swirl-pot fuel pump module, 4-pin, without sender, internal fuel filter, for cars without parking heater); Bosch 0 580 314 097 (bare in-tank pump, with mounting material and connector parts); Delphi FE0429-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, metal, 113 mm, without pressure sensor); ERA 770123A (bare in-tank pump, 4 bar / 90 l/h, 2-pin); Ridex 458F0064 (diesel supply module, 4 to 5 bar, 4.8 A, 199.5 mm); Pierburg 7.21440.51.0 (low-pressure pump, 0.3 to 0.4 bar, 2-pin).
Types & variants	The Pierburg 5 bar feed unit and the Metzger swirl-pot module are the only complete tank units; the Metzger has no level sender and suits cars with the fuel filter inside the tank and no auxiliary heater. The rest are bare petrol pumps for the 1.2 and 1.6 turbo petrols, with the Ridex 458F0064 as the only diesel-specific module for the 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 diesels. Hybrid versions share the petrol unit.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Hoffer 7506416 quotes 170429F500; Laser Tools 7998 quotes EN-50885.
Fitment notes	As a Peugeot 3008 derivative the Grandland X uses PSA-style swirl-pot modules; the sender is separate on many versions, which is why the Metzger module is sold without one, so the old sender stays in the tank when the pump module is changed. Check whether the car has the in-tank filter before choosing a module.

A Genuine Test Worth Trying Before Replacing the Pump — Vauxhall Grandland X Fuel Pump

Before assuming the fuel pump itself has failed, it's worth trying a simple, genuinely useful check: with the ignition turned to "on" but the engine not yet started, you should hear a brief whine from the direction of the fuel tank as the pump primes the system. If you hear nothing, the fault is more likely to be the pump itself, its fuse, or its relay — all worth checking before assuming a full pump replacement is needed, since a blown fuse or failed relay is a considerably cheaper fix.

If your car is diesel-engined: there are genuinely two separate pumps working together — a lower-pressure lift pump inside the tank, and a high-pressure pump on the engine itself, driven by the timing belt or camshaft. A fault can originate in either, and the priming-whine test above specifically checks the in-tank lift pump — a car that primes normally but still won't start or runs rough under load points toward the engine-mounted high-pressure pump instead.

Vauxhall Grandland X Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Vauxhall Grandland X, this particular failure has a knack for terrible timing, stranding drivers mid-journey instead of giving fair warning while the car's parked up safely. Spotting the early signs early enough is what stands between a routine fix and a roadside breakdown.

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.

Vauxhall Grandland X Fuel Pump: What It Does

Getting fuel from tank to engine at the correct combustion pressure is down to the fuel pump, and on the Vauxhall Grandland X that pump sits inside the tank, submerged in fuel. That location is exactly why swapping out such a small part is rarely a quick job.

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.

2017–present, 1.5 diesel (PSA-shared)	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
2017–present, 1.2 PureTech petrol	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump
