Recent service done with Bosch 044 fuel pump install.
tested main fuel pump >good, has a new bosch in-tank fuel pump, new spark plugs, new bosch wires, air/fuel filter, new FAE fuel pump relay.
Replaced it with a Bosch and it hasn't stalled at all even when the tank is almost empty. It was the fuel pump all along, can't believe it lasted so long from the first signs of failure(over a year)!
I finally got the new, correct pump installed and the Rabbit lives again!
The Bosch 044 that I am running has a running pressure of over 72psi... over double what the Digi system requires, and I have had it installed for a little while (factory FPR) and no problems.
I can't even hear my 044 but the Walbro my buddy has in his Evo is LOUD. Mine is wrapped in sound deadening material and that was enough to kill the whine.
i just got my bosch 044 for free from my freind . and it wasn't that loud, you could here it at idle but it wasn't bad at all. for the new build
My Bosch is loud, but I love the fact that I know its working
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.
my 044 is horribly loud, changed the way I felt about my car (& I have a V1 w/ cogged belt no less). Mounting creatively will keep the hums/vibes down.
