There are two types and you’ll need to replace with the same type. Some have a spacer chamber attached and some don’t
Just check you get the same one

You’ll be fine if you’re changing the complete pump and motor unit but not if you’re connecting a new motor to existing pump. That’s when you’ll need the correct match

I must have got lucky then, as it was just the motor I changed over. The one I fitted works a treat.
