Squeak 17 #51 March 20, 2013 Quote Quote Quote And the survey says??!!!/Richard Dawson voice Yup, it was the fuel pump. Was a bit of a pain removing the sending unit from the old pump, but other than that, it went back in pretty easy. Took a few cranks to get the fuel up to the engine, but Willie started right up.Darn, kinda hoped it was them pesky air gremlins. you got off light and easy. I just got my VW back yesterday $3.8K later, doing the fuel pump on the Van also means the Fuekl pump timing belt, which mean almost stripping the motor out and to do that the bumper bar has to come off etc..etc.. and I need 4 new tyres as well Since you're going on a long trip, before to change out the air on those tires after the break in period and please remember to check your wiperblade bearings. You don't want those going out on ya... yeah it sucks, unlike the cars, with VW Commercial EVERYTHNIG is tucked away and hidden under, above, or within something else. but it does have 350,000 on the clockYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
