OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 203 162 / Hüco 133523

Accuracy note: Covers the Nissan Note (E12 2013-) 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 0 580 203 162 (complete in-tank feed unit); Hüco 133523 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Magneti Marelli 313011313054 (complete supply module with lever-type sender, 12 V); Meat & Doria 76416 (bare pump, 3 bar / 95 l/h); Delphi FE0545-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, 112.6 mm); Ridex 1382F0550 (feed unit, diesel, no pressure sensor); Ridex 1382F0061 (feed unit, diesel, 3 bar, for vehicles without a parking heater); Ridex 458F13718 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, 3.8 bar).
Types & variants	Petrol 1.2 and 1.6 models use a complete sender module (Bosch, Hüco, Magneti Marelli) or a bare pump fitted into it; the 1.5 dCi diesel has its own in-tank sender unit, covered by the Ridex diesel feed units.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Hoffer 7506385 is quoted against 3111137300; Meat & Doria 76416 and Hoffer 7506416 against 170429F500; Kamoka 8410005 against 8450008680.
Fitment notes	A complete module is the answer when the gauge reads wrongly as well as the engine starving; a bare pump keeps the original float and costs far less.

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.

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
