Title: Selling my '99 3.0 24V
Post by: José V. Gavilá on February 14, 2019, 05:07:38 pm
Hi all,

I have finally decided to sell my beloved Espace. It is a 1999 3.0 24V model, with just about 140.000km on it, and currently does not run due to a faulty fuel pump. It has developed, for second time on its life, a breakage on the return line connection on the pump, so it got a large enough leak to prevent the vehicle from being driven (as it would not arrive far!). I have it this way for a year and even bought a new pump, but I have not way to replace it by myself and, well, it is time to let it go  :(

I am in Spain. If anyone want it, please, hurry. I would sell it for just 500€ and even would give the new owner the new in box Bosch fuel pump (about 190€ value). It is a pity to throw away this nice vehicle.

Jose

Good to see you here, Jose. Sad that you're selleing yours. 140 tkm is nothing. Our 2001 has clocked 360 now. Yours probably look a lot better than ours does now.

I replaced my pump myself in 2011 and it's still running fine (fingers crossed). The difficult part is removing the filler pipe, lowering the tank without spilling petrol on the ground as even a little petrol in the tank will overflow from the filler connection when you bump it around, and getting it back up and fitted.

But it worked out fine :)
