OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 314 097 / VDO 2803580302302

Accuracy note: Covers the Vauxhall Mokka (2012-2019) 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)	VDO 2803580302302 (complete feed unit, petrol); Vemo V40-09-0030 (complete feed unit with sender, diesel, 4-pin, supplied with pump); Metzger 2250569 (feed unit, 4-pin, without sender); Metzger 2250717 (swirl-pot module, 4-pin, without sender, for in-tank filter and no parking heater); Bosch 0 580 314 097 (bare in-tank pump, with mounting material); Ridex 1382F0061 (diesel feed unit, 3 bar, not for cars with parking heater); ERA 770123A (bare in-tank pump, 4 bar / 90 l/h, 2-pin).
Types & variants	The VDO unit is the only petrol-specific complete feed unit for the 1.4 Turbo and 1.6; the Vemo and Ridex diesel units serve the 1.6 and 1.7 CDTi, with the parking-heater question deciding which diesel module fits. The Metzger 4-pin units are sold without a sender for cars where the level sender is a separate part.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Laser Tools 7998 quotes EN-50885; Meat & Doria 76416 quotes 170429F500.
Fitment notes	Petrol and diesel modules are different parts and the diesel lift-pump module also varies with the auxiliary heater. Bare petrol pumps can be fitted into the original Mokka housing, keeping the sender in place; where the sender is separate the Metzger module can be changed on its own without disturbing the gauge.

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

On the Vauxhall Mokka, 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 Mokka Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Vauxhall Mokka'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.

Mokka/Mokka X (2012–2019), 1.4 Turbo petrol	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
Mokka/Mokka X, 1.3/1.7 CDTi diesel	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
Mokka (2020–present), Stellantis-era PureTech petrol	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump
