Astra 2002 Fuelpump

[Ollep]

Hi!
Just got in an Astra 2002, and it doesn't pump fuel.

Can't find a fuel pump fuse or relay, anyone knows where it's located?
Assuming the pump is still under the rear seat?

Anyone with ideas of where the problem can be?
By the way, the petrol gauge doesn't seem to work either.


THANXXX guys!!!

i know its a silly quistion but do you have fuel in the car?

could be the sender but there should be a fuse for it

Yes Boorny, I tried filling up and it was over flowing after maybe 5 liter. Also put back pressure on it and pushed out petrol.

Another question;

How the heck do I open the petrol tank lid on the Astras????
Seem to be permanently locked with some folded metal parts?

Cheers

as in the petrol cap or the flap that covers that? coz if you lock you car when you get out it locks other then that i dont have a clue

The petrol cap locks when you locl the car...shouldn't lock otherwise..

Fuel pump relay is under the bonnet. Chekc the manual, its in there as to the exact location...Is it a 1.8, 2.2 or turbo??

Fuel pump will be in tank under the rear seats

Remove the black plastic cover
then the fuel lines, spin the metal plate (its stiff) and you should be able to get into it

the relay is under the hood, from normally to the right side towards the firewall
