Fuel pump Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

I got my Bosch replacement on Amazon a couple years ago. I also got the tank straps and j bolts there too. No problems since replacing it.

Guess what, Ferrari doesn\u2019t make fuel pumps chances are it\u2019s a Bosch(or whoever) part that\u2019s on a million other things.

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.

So it looks like they solved the problem. Swapped out the fuel pump. I guess it was having issues with low fuel pressure. Said they metered it earlier but didn\u2019t find anything. Low and behold, it fixed it.

At 176,000 KM there has only been one issue. Fuel pump! It was covered under warranty. No issues at all with timing chain or related parts. Nothing else at all.

I had this problem for well over a year, then my fuel pump died. Installed a Bosch because I felt the stalling problem, after lots of research, could be due to faulty pumps ..even new ones. The car didn't stall again under 1/4 tank for many months until all of a sudden, it did it again ..a few times.

I recently installed a Bosch 040 fuel pump (which is relayed). Now prior to when I start the car I have about 12.7v, once it starts It sits at around 11.9v because he alternator doesn't kick on.

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!

This is my second Bosch 044 fuel pump that I've been through within a year time span. FYI when I was running a Walbro fuel pump, it never died on me. I decided to switch to the Bosch 044 because I've read that it was a lot more reliable than the Walbro. My first Bosch 044 fuel pump started going bad when I couldn't hear the buzzing noise. I got them from USRT and they suggested that I bang it with a hammer. Well I did and it started buzzing again. That worked for a little bit, soon after it stopped buzzing even after I hit it with a hammer. Connected jumper wires straight from the +/- side of battery and nothing. My conclusion, it's dead or fried. My second Bosch 044 is starting to do the same.
