I did message Mathew palmer awaiting response and the fella from dubstock is getting back to me with price and pictures of one he has tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice about Facebook, not found what I'm after yet, but options are much better

That sounds promising, hopefully I can luck out and it's the right pot for my car.

I did sign up for Facebook, il contact the names you gave me earlier thanks.

How do I get access to the Facebook forum I have tried using the connect at top of page but says I have no access?

Thanks again for your help. Happy New year

Thanks for your reply mate. I will check out your links. I guess I should open a Facebook account then.

Long shot I know, but I'm looking for options and the long shot of anyone having a swirl pot for my corrado k jet 1990 1.8.16v.

I think I would prefer the option of a more powerful in tank pump then doing away with an obselete swirl pot that will probably break the first time I touch it. But that's in the future.

I wasn't looking to purchase that particular pump, more than likely a perburg or bosch pump. As I don't want be doing same job again and again buy cheap buy twice etc.

https://www.fuelpumpsonline.co.uk/fuel-pump-for-volkswagen-corrado-18i-16v-pre-feeder-pump-itp326-24902-p.asp this is different news to me but hopefully not as bad then. After matrix change and welding il hopefully get swirl pot off and check it all over. The above link was the pump I was considering

For what i have read the under car pump gets louder if lift pump in fuel tank is struggling and then the under car pump gets louder as it strains to send fuel. Also read do both pumps at same time. I was actually asking how difficult it is to disassemble the fuel sender unit to replace the lift pump on sender.

Two pumps on k jet a lift pump on sender unit assembly and second pump under the car on swirl pot is the information I have gathered.

Thanks again.

I also will look at under car fuel pump and hope the casing isn't too bad although after nearly 30 years old I can but hope.the pump in the petrol tank itself will be first, the fuel filter at the swirl pot is actually new looking.

Thanks for the help I was actually just looking at what foam was needed for heater flaps. Perfect timing what thickness and size is best. I have read there is three bolts on bulkhead two at matrix and one behind expansion tank. I can only find one at matrix and one at expansion tank.

I did see the alloy swirl pot on vw classic Web page before, never even considered it wouldn't fit, also bit out of my price range at the moment. Also further down the line of other jobs. Was hoping to change lift pump first off as I said then maybe I won't be as worried if it quietens down. Had the car over two weeks last owner had for 20 years, so far I have removed interior for a water leak that soaked the carpets from heater gasket under scuttle. Now considering doing heater matrix as most of the interior is already removed plus I have one spot of welding that looks like a jack through the floor, which must be a double skin area as there's no hole inside the car.

I was actually hoping to replace the I tank pump then a fuel filter and hope that the noise would die down. I just wondered if it was possible that a whole in tank alternative pump and sender could be purchased rather than trying to strip apart the whole unit to change the pump.

I had this same problem for over a week, got in last night when I used the main desktop site other than the mobile website.

Hi guys, I have a very loud fuel pump and for what I have read it would make sense to purchase a in tank pump first off and filter. My question is what are my options I can't seem to see a full unit, is it possible for a noob to dismantle whole sender unit and replace pump, or is there a complete alternative I can replace with.

Nice thanks for the link

The heater controls don't light up at all, but all other interior lights work on dash and switches, also the tab for the slider on the heater controls is broken off. Il see if I can post a pic later. The interior light works off the switch but not when the door opens, which I imagine is the switch on the pillar.

Cheers, hopefully easy fix then.

Hi guys, I have a knocking noise when accelerating hard, sounds like the downpipe hitting, has anyone ever had this issue and how to sort it?
