After wiring the fuel pump relay terminals together to bypass the relay entirely, after 40 miles of heading back towards Arkansas it died on me again with the exact same behavior as before.
Pros: bypassed the relay
Cons: died again
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 64 km
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.
Pros: high running pressure, no problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 044
Learn from my mistakes. :facepalm: Although as shown on the link above that Bosch lists this pump as for the Mk4 R32... it is not correct. Some things you don't notice until you are halfway through the job.
Cons: incorrect part, wasted time
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 69740
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.
Cons: died after 50 miles, no power
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 50 km
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.
Pros: kill the whine
Cons: Walbro is LOUD
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.
Pros: mounting creatively
Cons: horribly loud
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
Pros: wasn't that loud
Cons: hear it at idle
My Bosch is loud, but I love the fact that I know its working
Pros: know its working
Cons: loud
I have a walbro now.... and just got my new bosch 044 in saturday.... Replacing the walbro with the 044, due to its capability to flow more at higher fuel pressures(boost).
Pros: flow more at higher pressures
