Ive just picked up a long stored car that wont start. Basic investigation reveals no feed to pump. fuse ok. Was wondering if there is any relays involved and if so what one, don't wont to start throwing money at it till I hear it going. Cheers , Dave.

Check out the fuel pump relay on the fuse board, no. 167, some other number sometimes also I can't remember, row on the right. Has two very large spade connectors, you can jump the large pins on the board with the relay out to check

Thanks for that, will check out relay. Would it damage pump if you wired it straight off a battery to check it worked.

I'd disconnect the battery negative, remove the fp relay, jump the connections on the fuse board and connect the battery negative briefly to see if the pump runs first.

Relay had it. Got two from breakers for a quid. Primer pump in tank runs but external one u/s. Every bit of it nla from vw. All on the bench at moment stripping it all down , very rusty. Hey Ho !!!!!.

I could never understand why they didn't protect it better under the car, so many parts of the k-jet under there, filter, accumulator, pump and housing and all those banjo fittings, at least they should have put a shield over it, my 8v just has a filter...
