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
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!!!

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

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??

Sorry - wasn't very clear on the tank lid, I didn't mean the cap - I meant the lid underneath the seat. So nuggz got it right. I've been hammering away but it sits bloody hard there, thought it was some kind of permanent lock.
Yes the relay box is in the engine room, just above the ABS position (this 02 does not have ABS) there is one relay missing, and the 2 that are there lock a bit over heated (discolored on the top.) probably worth investigation.

Ahhh...As Nuggz said I used a large flathead screw driver and a heavy mallet. Just becareful not to damage the actual tank (that said, mine has a large-ish dint in the top of it now though....Opps ) and if it still wont budge, try levering the tabs up slightly to loosen them off a touch.
I've had mine off 4 times now and the first is always the hardest....

Thanks guy's - gonna get the mallet out today. better have the extinguisher handy as well.
Just replaced the 2 purple relays and the fuse above the "ABS bay" - and that didn't help!!!
