Fbh circulation pump
Does anyone know if it can be overhauled or of a cheap source of a replacement as mines making a God awful noise and the heater keeps cutting out.
Thanks Matt |

I think when I was after a replacement glow plug that I used Butler Technik for it. Not particularly cheap though. If I remember my glow plug was approx £60 |
Yeah they sell the pump for £118 but there out of stock Bowers have it for £127 which isn't cheap like you say. Also from looking at the pictures it looks like they've updated the design a little

Try Contacting Trebor on here I know he can refurbish FBH's so he may be able to help

The water pump impeller and chamber can be cleaned, a new O ring has to be fitted. The impeller is brushless, and free rotating when not powered. The Pierburg 9012751 has a sealed for life PCB at the bottom of the pump, so no repair.
Apart from that, NOT your water pump. |
The original pumps a ridiculously expensive and Chinese copies are not recommended.
When mine failed it was cheaper to hunt down a faulty FBH and use the pump off that. With non working FBH's it's rarely the pump but the pcb so make good donors for the pump and glow pin. |
When my pump packed in and I couldn't justify the cost of a new genuine one, I bought a Chinese copy. It fitted perfectly, great I thought! Unfortunately, it packed in within 12 months. I replaced it with another Chinese one, this pump didn't actually work at all, just became very hot , very quickly. I returned this one lol.
I looked for a decent alternative, which I found for less than half the price of a genuine. British made too, yes! . However, although it looked identical, the bore of the inlet didn't quite match the outlet of the FBH. After coming this far I wasn't going to be beaten. As the space between the pump inlet and FBH outlet is only a few cm's there was no room for a reducer. I eventually came up with the idea of mounting the water pump remotely. It now resides directly behind the expansion tank. I went all around the houses, but I now have a new, reliable water pump thats very easy to get at. Money spent? Probably not much less than buying a new genuine pump lol. |
