OEM Part Number: 8410005 (as quoted in catalogue listings — confirm via VIN) — aftermarket fuel pumps Pierburg 7.02701.28.0 / Hella 8TF 358 305-221

Accuracy note: Covers the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer (C 2011-2018) 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)	Hella 8TF 358 305-221 (complete feed unit with sender, diesel, 4-pin); Hella 8TF 358 304-041 (complete feed unit, 4-pin, fuel not stated); Metzger 2250471 (feed unit, 4-pin, 12 V); Pierburg 7.02701.28.0 (in-tank pump module with mounting kit, 3.5 bar, 7 A, without sender); Pierburg 7.05656.46.0 (feed unit, electric, specification not stated); Delphi FE0435-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, metal, without pressure sensor); ERA 770156A (bare in-tank pump, 4 bar / 80 l/h, 2-pin, repair kit 770156); ESEN SKV 02SKV217 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, 4 bar / 135 l/h, MPI).
Types & variants	Diesel 1.6 and 2.0 CDTi cars take a feed unit with sender (Hella 305-221); the 4-pin Metzger and Hella 304-041 units cover the petrol side, and the 1.6 SIDI direct-injection petrol needs the higher 4 bar supply pressure that the ERA 770156A and ESEN SKV 02SKV217 provide. The Pierburg 7.02701.28.0 is a pump module without sender for fitting into the original housing.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Laser Tools 7998 quotes EN-50885; Kamoka 8410005 quotes 8450008680.
Fitment notes	Petrol and diesel modules are different parts. On petrol cars the Pierburg or a bare pump can be fitted into the existing tank unit so the sender and gauge stay as they were; the complete Hella and Metzger units replace the sender as well and the 4-pin plug must match the loom. The 1.4 Turbo, 1.6 SIDI and 1.8 run at different supply pressures, so check the old part's rating.

A Genuine Test Worth Trying Before Assuming Pump Failure — Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 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 Zafira Tourer Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, 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.

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Vauxhall Zafira Tourer'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.

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.

Zafira Tourer C (2011–2019), 1.4 Turbo petrol & 1.3 CDTi 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
Zafira Tourer C (2011–2019), 1.6/1.7/2.0 CDTi diesel	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
