Owner reviews for fuel pump

I have a walbro now.... and just got my new bosch 044 in saturday.... Replacing the walbro with the 044, due to its capability to flow more at higher fuel pressures(boost).

Either pump will do the job but the Bosch is the better piece.

i have been running a walbro inline fed by my stock intank pump with a 130000 miles on it. i had no problem making 530+ hp with this pump.

-Front Cross member (motor mount half): passat vr -Front Cross member (radiator half): mk2 modified - cut around 1/2 off of mid section on pass side -K-Frame: mk3 vr6 -A-Arms: mk3 vr6 -Struts/Springs: mk2 lowering springs

I sold an Airtex fuel pump for a Mk2 GTI that had the factory part number filed off (like the part in the OP), and it had been painted, and you could see where Bosch was printed on it under the paint.

I checked in ETKA to verify and all G60s (US) definitely all came with 3 bar FPRs. Also, they do list the Single pump Pierburg and VDO pumps with comments \"4 Bar\".

Use a Fox fuel pump. It's the same - and foxes from Brazil run E85 99% of the time down there.

oh its some fun getting the screw cap back on the tank. the problem is a stock pump the line sits horizontal and with the walbro it sits vertical. it requires some force and patience to get it in.

Learn from my mistakes. :facepalm: Although as shown on the link above that Bosch lists this pump as for the Mk4 R32... it is not correct. Some things you don't notice until you are halfway through the job.

I installed the Bosch pump and a new fuel filter. 50 miles later the Bosch pump died. I was not beating on the car. Just cruising down the street doing 30 or so and bam, no power. I was able to return it and get my money back.
