The fakes do make the same whining noise like the originals if not even louder..
I've seen a fake unit. The unit is in polished finishing on the outside while the originals have slightly rougher surface. The printing on the fakes are not totally nice to look at. Uneven embrossed logo and such... however, i suspect those are the earlier imitation units... now, they may have copied externally to about the same as the originals. The fake unit is unable to hold high fuel pressure during high flows.... eg. in a turbo car, when you reached 6k rpm while in full boost, the fuel pressure drops.

To be able to be sure you have purchased the genuine is to do a flow test. The fakes do not flow as much as the originals. Also the pressure test.

From my experience, just found out the previous owner of my car fitted fake walbro.

The difference:

The fake one is still super shiny, more shinier than the original
The fake one the wording is MUCH clearer than the original
The fake one is much quieter than the original (silent from the cabin) unlike ori walbro which is quite noisy

Any advice which shop that sell the original Walbro fuel pump?
Me plan to buy it a.s.a.p. but worry when buy it, fear it's an imitation Walbro Fuel Pump.
So need advise from all members here, which shop that sell the original Walbro fuel pump.

Another question, normally for purely original Walbro Fuel Pump, how much is the original price? Some seller sell RM380, some seller sell RM400 and got also some seller sell it for RM450.
A little bit confuse here, need help! :driver:

Biggest sign that it's fake..

If you plug it in to a 12v power source and it's silent, Walbro is famous for being noisy.

Other signs it's fake:

It's too shiny (ori one not so shiny)
They say one model can fit all cars (Walbro has different model sets for different vehicles)
The wording is too clear (The Walbro and Made in USA - ori one not so clear)

I just had a fake one taken out of my car from the previous owner, will take some pics of it later.

From what I know ori retail set with box etc should be around RM500. The OEM in plain box cheaper a bit around RM400-450.

I owned a 2013 Proton Persona. Few months back I have send the car to convert from auto to manual. The mechanic had removed the dashboard and the pillar covers. Few weeks after the conversion everything was alright. But recently whenever I start drive, there is a weird knocking sound (as if like someone put a nut or screw) from the back of the dashboard. But I am not so sure if it is coming from back of dash or from inside the pillar. What I am afraid is if there is something broke and fall...
