Owner reviews for fuel pump

044 can take A LOT of abuse. They are OEM spec

I reset the timing to 1.0mm left every else as is, and accually got the cold start lever hooked up properly with a spair part from another pump i had laying around

044's definitely do not suck, they're regarded to be very reliable probably more so then any other EFI pump on the market for many, many years now.

Recent service done with Bosch 044 fuel pump install.

Walbro 450lph E85 approved. It outflow 044 and is certified to run E85.

I have a Walbro intank pump, I replaced my oem when i though it was bad a few years ago.

Ended up being the fuel pump. Just got a new APR unit in and it runs like a_________!

This is true, the Bosch pump is loud, The Walbro is kinda loud too but it is totally bearable, At idle is whines but thats the only time you will hear it..

They rate the pump at 500 hours on ethanol and I think I actually got less than that. Although I have heard dsm and evo guys running these pumps with no issues for over a year my guess is our cars don't like it. This is a genuine 044 not a fake one. It was installed of July of last year and it ran pump fuel until December. My pump completely died on Friday and the car would not start. Luckily my friend had a spare one laying around that he wasn't using popped it in and the car started up again.

Amazon AND Bosch are still advertising the Bosch Premium Fuel Pump, part number 69740, as the correct part for the 2004 VW R32. It is NOT.
