I've been looking for a new fuel level sender for my 2003 MV.
I'm pretty resourceful when it comes to tracking down parts and this part is near impossible to find.
However...
I found a fuel pump assembly on Amazon that comes with the level sender. The sender just clips onto the top cover and can be removed to install on your van. The wires are soldered to the connector so I used some small insulated spade connectors to hook it up. I didn't want to solder it because I did the job with the pump portion still in the tank with gas. I didn't want to take a chance with a 650 degree soldering iron in close proximity to gas fumes.
Anyway, it works great! I'll keep the fuel pump assembly in the van as a backup pump in emergencies. Not sure I'd use this pump as a permanent replacement for a stock pump. In that case I'd recommend a VDO pump.
The best part? It costs only $52!
