Nissan Note Fuel Pump: OEM Part Number

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: high-mileage Notes often show early fuel pump wear as intermittent problems — starting fine most days but occasionally cranking longer than usual — rather than a sudden, total failure, which can make the root cause easy to misdiagnose as something else.

A Genuinely Important, Repeated Consumer Complaint Worth Knowing About — Nissan Note Fuel Pump

If your car has a diesel fuel pump fault and you've been quoted for a complete pump replacement, this is genuinely worth knowing: multiple owners of related models describe what they call a "classic Nissan ploy" — dealers insisting a full pump replacement is required, sometimes costing £2,000 or more, despite Nissan itself selling cheaper, replaceable component-level parts that fit the same pump and can resolve many faults for a fraction of the cost. One documented case saw a €2,000 dealer quote for a full pump reduced to around €118 once the actual failed component — a small fuel pressure switch — was correctly identified and replaced on its own.

Genuinely worth asking directly before accepting a full pump quote: it's worth specifically asking whether a component-level repair is possible for your exact fault, since Nissan's own parts catalogue includes these smaller, cheaper components even though dealers don't always volunteer this option.

It's also worth knowing that some model years use a single valve while others use two, distinguished by different coloured caps — a genuine, documented fitment trap worth confirming before ordering.

Nissan Note Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Nissan Note, 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.

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.

Nissan Note Fuel Pump: What It Does

On the Nissan Note, 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.

Nissan Note Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type

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.

E11/E12 (2006–2017), 1.2/1.6 petrol (HR12DE/HR16DE)	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
All generations, 1.5 dCi diesel (K9K)	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
