Owner reviews for fuel pump

I had to change my in tank pump a few years ago. Car would stutter at the same place in every journey after a big hill! So odd. Got a Magneti Marelli pump which fit but had to be inserted into the existing outer body, that was a bit of a pain.

Walbro 450 fuel pump and VR6 radiator are next to order.

The fuel filter is built into the pump assembly. They are basically non serviceable. I recommend the Delphi brand. A lot of those cheaper pumps will last about one year.

I have a project Jeep and have done the fuel pump , fuel filter , radiator clutch fans , fuel injectors , coil packs , spark plugs, coolant reservoir, charcoal canister , brakes , pcv valve and other miscellaneous things! I love working on my Jeep and like you said the feeling is so gratifying.

Since I don't want to be one of those guys who does not post the solution: In case someone faces the same issue - resolved by replacing both the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel pump. Both were faulty.

Bosch high PSI fuel pump after 57,000 miles. That's quality right there.

Just recently replaced the fuel pump, tie rod ends and a left front spring and had to do some engine head work, replacing the exhaust valves, valve stem seals etc. and replacing the VANOS, everything straight off the shelf, only item the shop had to order was the spring since my car is still on the original M-Sport suspension.

The car doesn't like to start as quickly as it did with the two pump setup. As the car gets hotter and I do a few restarts while running errands the car is even harder to start. Yesterday resulted in me being stranded in my kid's daycare parking lot for about 5 minutes before it eventually started up again. The pump still fires like it should in the acc position and the car otherwise runs fine which tells me the fuel pump is doing its job.

No, I just spent $2,500 on my 2015 Tiguan, replaced fuel pump, engine harness, n80 valve,crankshaft sensor, cleaned carbon build up....and I had the car back for 2 days and it stalled again...I'm pissed....time to sell and NEVER buy a VW again!

Something happened to Delphi's quality the last couple of years. Used to use them a lot, but the last few pumps I've gotten from them have been complete shit.
