OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 204 033 / Hüco 133139

Accuracy note: Covers the Mini Countryman (F60 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)	Bosch 0 580 204 033 (complete in-tank feed unit); Bosch 0 580 203 304 (complete in-tank feed unit); Pierburg 7.02701.97.0 (complete feed unit with sender, 4.9 bar, 12 V, 118 mm flange, 235 mm long); Hüco 133139 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Hüco 133415 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Hüco 133473 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); VDO 2803580245302 (complete feed unit, petrol); Delphi FG2415-12B1 (complete feed unit, 247 x 117.5 mm, without pressure sensor, without seal).
Types & variants	Complete modules only. The F60 petrol unit runs at 4.9 bar (Pierburg 7.02701.97.0, Metzger 2250367) on a 118 mm flange, which is smaller than the 135.5 mm F54/F56 flange, so the Clubman and hatch 5.3 bar modules do not transfer. Two Bosch numbers cover the front-drive and ALL4 or diesel tank; Hoffer 7507428E, Vika 91198401, Vemo V20-09-0020 and Magneti Marelli 313011313374 are budget equivalents.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	519700000212 (Hoffer 7507428E); 16117300473 (Engitech ENT100243); 16 11 7 300 472 (Vemo V20-09-0020).
Fitment notes	Order by fuel and ALL4, and check the flange diameter, because the Countryman unit is not the same as the hatch unit. All modules include the sender; the Delphi is supplied without the tank seal and without a pressure sensor. Hüco modules carry assembly instructions that must be followed.

Mini Countryman Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Mini Countryman, 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.

Mini Countryman 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 Mini Countryman 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.

F54/F60 (2015–present), incl. JCW (B38/B48/B47)	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

Confirmed: A Genuine Safety Recall Worth Checking Your Car Against — Mini Countryman Fuel Pump

This is genuinely worth checking directly, particularly on a 2017-2019 model: a confirmed recall covered nearly 10,000 UK and North American vehicles for a missing crash protection plate near the high-pressure fuel pump. Without this plate, the pump can be damaged in the event of an accident, potentially causing a fuel leak and increasing the risk of a fire. The fix is a dealer fitting the missing plate at no cost to the owner. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against this recall directly with Mini, particularly if you've never received a notification and aren't certain whether a previous owner had it actioned.

A genuinely useful, real tip worth knowing about how recalls sometimes get completed: recall work is occasionally carried out quietly during an unrelated service visit, such as a routine service or a different repair, without the owner necessarily being told explicitly what was done or why. It's worth checking your service history or job sheet directly to see whether a recall action like this one was completed alongside other work you had done, rather than assuming a lack of a specific notification means nothing has been actioned.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that the fuel pump and tank access panel is located directly under the cargo area floor on this model, rather than under the rear seat as it is on most hatchback and convertible Mini models — worth knowing this specific access point before assuming a guide written for a different body style will apply directly.
