Fuel pump part number

Hi, I need to replace my fuel pump in the fuel tank as its sounding like it on its last legs.

I can't seem to find the genuine part online so does anyone have the part number so I can search online for a replacement?

Many thanks

Re: Rumbling noise

I think this is the fuel pump. Mine started doing this yesterday and I thought someone had a motorbike idling nearby, until I shut the engine off and realised it's my car. I lifted the rear seats up and the noise is definitely the pump I think

Re: windscreen replacement -Wiper sensor

I suspect it has lost its adhesive and isnt sticking as well. maybe give the glass a good clean and try clean the sensor pad as best as possible. I brought a new one for mine in the end.

Re: Forte Engine Clean

Is this same sort of stuff as seafoam?

What is the risk of using this on a PD engine?

Re: Key issues"

Cant help with the key but sounds like it might need re-coding

My fan blower packed up, same as yours all lights etc...

I removed the blower and sprayed it up with wd-40 and manually span it to work it in. This done the job, very easy.
A little fiddly to remove the blower but not impossible

Re: Parking brake stuck, HELP!!!!

Well the garage said its showing no power to the motors and is showing error with the control module, going to be £500 odd for that and maybe more if one of the motors is gone! Ouch, HANDBRAKE AND CABLE NEVER COSTS THIS MUCH VW!

Hmmm, I think 4.5 is my limit. Seen some nice ones on auto trader going for only £3995. Not sure I want that hit on depreciation. I am a fan of wispa golds though.

Re: Parking brake stuck, HELP!!!!

good read that link, ive joined the fb group. I doubt VW will ever admit to this poor design fault. I've decided the car shall be up for sale once ruturned from repair. I simply dont trust this EPB, and want a basic car with less gadgets and potentional faults. lever and cable all the way!
