Johnboy98 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Just been told by my friendly neighbourhood Steelers that if i want to replace my Fuel pump that I will need a new type of sender unit aswell as the pump has been superseeded! This prices up in the £160 region, :shock: does this ring true with any of you peeps?? VR6 94 plate engine type RK003160 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe M 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Its highly likely your vr already has the later pump, get the pump without sender and see if the existing one fits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 13, 2005 You can get the original pumps direct from Bosch for about £90+VAT. GSF also sell them, but make sure they don't sell you the Golf 3 bar one though. Looking at the middle of it from above, you'll see the actual motor, 3 bar ones have a grey ring, 4 bar ones have a white ring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted December 13, 2005 The easy way to tell is to have a look under the hatch in the boot. If the white plastic top says VDO on it, you've got the late style pump, if it says something else that I can't remember on it, then you've got the old-style pump and you'll need a new sender.

Johnboy98 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Good advise there guys :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted December 13, 2005 I coud post up pictures of the old and new pumps, but you can't actually see the pump itself until you've cut a few hose clips off and it's out of the car, so it'd be too late by then anyway :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmn 0 Posted December 14, 2005 @kev, do you have a gsf part number for the 4 bar one? I presume it will work in a G60 sneder units as they are the same unit, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
