We have a green 2007 Compass. The local garage says it needs a new fuel pump. It has sat at the garage for over a week. They said it would take 2 days to get a new fuel pump in and it will cost $478!!!! Today, Saturday, the pump is still not in. I stopped at the local NAPA store and they said they can sell me the fuel pump for a 2.4 liter for $177. I am about to go to the garage after they close and go get my car.
Can anyone give me a "how to" to replace the fuel pump? I know the Compass has an access panel under the rear seat. So that sounds easier than having to take off the fuel tank, but that's all I know. Can a not so good backyard mechanic do it myself???? I have replaced fuel pumps on my 1954 Ford pickup before but that is a mechanical pump that is actuated by the cam.
Can anyone give me some tips? How hard is it??? I am going for the car and towing it home. It is only 5-6 blocks away.
