Fuel pump diagram??

[CaiosG60 PWR 0]

Can somebody either post or email me a diagram of the in-tank fuel pump. I'm going to check the filter on it tomorow. It'd be a great help if I knew what to expect when I open the tank up. Cheers

Not got pics but I have replaced mine. I bust the orginal trying to check the filter. Chuff :(

 

Anyway the deal is:

 

Lift the boot carpet, take off access panel(3 screws) disconnect wiring and the two petrol pipes(note which goes where). I have some special pliers for doing the std fit clips which allows you to re-use them. You might need to $hag them to get them off. Replace with jubilee clips???

 

Undo the big ring, knock it round with a hammer and drift.

 

Once yoy have the ring off the plate with the electrics and pipe connections lifts out a fair way but remains connected to the pump/gauge sender assembly.

 

Last job, grab hold of the pump/gauge assembly and turn it anticlockwise. It is held in on a bayonet fitting. Once released, you need to f**k about, getting the whole thing, out of a hole that appears to be too small. It does come out.

 

"Refitting is reverse of removal"

 

If you break it, you can get the same pump from a VR6/GTI/GTI 16V MK3 Golf, most of the 2 litre 8V Passats. The pump is a 4 BAR one and although they are made by a number of manufacturers they are interchangeable.

 

 

Cheers

Cheers mate, how much is that clip tool. Is it the same as the one for the external fuel filter? Can I get it from German + Swedish or Euro Car Parts.

Just note that although they might be interchangeable, you might find that the fuel gauge under- or over-reads afterwards...

Which means opening her up and bending the float arm the appropriate way to resolve that. Pain in the butt!

The pump I got was from a VR6. There is a spring rod on the fuel pump that is attached to the sender. My fuel gauge reads perfect. I did carry a gallon with me for a while just in case. I always bottled it and filled up before it ran out.

 

I got the tool from the Snap On man at work. It looks like it would pull teeth pretty good too!!

 

I'll see if I can find it on the website for you.

EDIT, can't find them. He will be in work tomorrow, I'll get the details and post them later.

Cai - use steel jubilee clips, far better design IMO (don't use the alloy jubille clips - they're totally useless)

Here's yer piccy - US spec G60 Corrado, from Bentley manual. Golf maybe slightly different ??
