Went for a long blast and all seems good still. Not one missfire. Power is back, and smooth. Wheel spinning again in 2nd out of corners

So unless I get more bad luck, this thread should be done with.

Is your car still running ok.
I am having the same problem with mine,
Do you know if there is a guide anywhere to show how to fit the pump into the tank.
And can you tell me how much the pump cost if you dont mind

[johnford60]

Hi,

Pull the rear seats out, No Bolts, just clipped in. Under O/S of seat there is a plug and big rubber cap, remove this and the fuelpump is under this. Unscrew and fit new pump. Very Easy,

Make you you got min furl in tank.

£125.00 + Vat for Pump.

Thanks,
was that from the dealers £125+VAT.

O and is your car  still running ok after fitting the new pump. ?

Do you run the tank dry often? Never heard of a failing fuel pump! It's quite common on most cars to have to change the fuel filter after around 60k miles as it's no longer part of the service schedule!

[rotty80]

No i try to keep a near enough full tank all the time.

LOL, that's not the best way to get the most out of your car - 60l of fuel weighs nearly as much as a passenger - both fuel economy and performance will be affected!

Fuel pump was from VW, although I pay trade prices so can get one much cheaper. I can get a price for you if you like.

My fuel filter was changed about 7,000 mile's ago.

My car went into VW for 2 Days first time and they told me to change fuel pump control unit, then went in for 4 days and they could not find the fault!

I chnaged the fuel pump after a couple of suggestions by other garages, and it's work. So far so good, all my power is back, not a single miss-fire so far ( Touch Wood ).

The Fuel Pump part number has changed, so it's a modified part

Do you know if this is the fuel pump you can hear priming when you open the door, and if so did you know it was at fault because you could no longer hear it?

Yea the pump in the tank is priming, The pump can get blocked and restrict fuel flow or become weak and therefore cant supply enough fuel.
