Fuel pump DELPHI or OEM Volkswagen

And an electronic fuel pump.

I bought a Delphi from RockAuto. I primed it 3X and car fired right up no issues even years later. No check engine light, no hicckups nada.

I got the Delphi rock auto one and has been working fine for the past 3 years

Mine wouldn't start back in 2020, and I bought a Delphi pump from AutoZone and replaced that, keeping the bucket, float arm, etc. that I already had in there. More than 40,000mi later, I still have no problems.

Plug & play reliable one I bought 220$ Delphi from Rockauto

I primed it, 2X key on Ignition, fired right up.

Rockauto, got a Delphi, replaced it about 3 years ago, still doing its job.

I've come across another option and I was not convinced until Advance Auto actually delivered it and it fit the stock (NA 2+0) assembly. Let me present to you the Delphi FE0161 pump and sock... Yes, it comes with the rubber shell and mounting ears, plus the pickup hose and sock as shown... And my 300ZX is back to a smooth idle and no hiccups on acceleration. Backstory is I had tried an aftermarket generic pump and modified the assembly to fit, but it lasted just two years (<2000 miles) and died.

I had similar problem, and have read of others when fuel is below 1/3. I had just changed sticking fuel pump with new and developed the problem. I thought it might be fuel level calibration, but it took another new pump to solve it for me.

My wife's has had electronic gremlins since we got it in '21 (it's a MY22).

-Passenger seat heating mat and occupancy sensor was causing codes and had to be replaced (1 week in shop).

-In-tank fuel pump has been replaced twice on recall.

-Some other recall thing that caused it to randomly go into limp mode (1 week in shop).

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!
