Use this guide http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=191641.0 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=191641.0)

and buy the pump from http://oemandmore.co.uk/fuel-pump-replaces-1h0-906-091-1453-p.asp (http://oemandmore.co.uk/fuel-pump-replaces-1h0-906-091-1453-p.asp)
(b.t.w this is just the pump itself, you need to change the carrier unless you want to buy complete pump with carrier for a bit more)

If it still works why do you need a new pump?

it may be ok for a while but who knows how long, usually first sign of failure is noise!!

Agreed, my first 8v went the same way with sudden increased noise before snuffing it at 60mph on a duel carriage way - not amusing.  :angry:
