If you replace the fuel pump, a Delphi in line fuel pump for an 89 Ford F250 is effectively the same...just be sure to not mix up the pos/neg terminals.
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.
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.
Only US Bosch replacement- https://www.nostrumshop.com/product/vw-mk6-gti-high-pressure-fuel-pump/ 2145 Get the check book out........
I'd go with Bosch. A fuel pump isn't something I'd want to cheap out on and I'll have to get the OEM for something like that.
Bosch. Always use Bosch for the pump. They're the OEM and the vastly better service life than the cheap brands is more than worth the extra cost.
I have them on two of my cars. I like the engine bay install the best. easier to do and quieter. The under the car version sounds like a busted chevy fuel pump sometimes. But after I upgraded the fuel filter the noise was reduced by half.
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.
