Hopefully I can get some more years out of this Bosch.

Reportedly the aftermarket ones don't last too long. That's why I had ultimately decided to keep the OE 14 y/o pump in the van
Pros: long lasting
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
There's a dude on Ebay selling new, pierburg, 4 bar fuel pumps... Put one in my corrado and it's doing great so far. The level sender does clip to the side of the pump housing a little differently, but it does still work.
Pros: doing great so far
Cons: clips a little differently
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
Since the original pump was strong and quiet I decided to reuse it as well and keep the new pump as a spare. I decided to let the perfectly working OE pump run its course.
Pros: strong and quiet, perfectly working
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I replaced my pump for another reason. A stall after a restart. When the pump was warmed up, and then shut off briefly, sometimes it would not start. So I replaced the pump. Then I developed the same problem as you. After a lot of trouble shooting, I reluctantly replaced new pump with another new pump of different brand (in the end Meyle worked). Problem solved.
Pros: problem solved
Cons: stall after restart
Wonder if it's fuel related, that happened to my CC turned out to be a Fuel Pump Issues in the gas tank.

044's are awesome pumps, and rarely quit
Pros: awesome pumps, rarely quit
I had my inline pump next to the fuel filter and it was way too noisy, ended up moving it to the engine compartment and fitted it inside some 3" tubing with insulation around it, just a slight whine at idle can be heard and none as you are driving
Pros: none as you are driving
Cons: way too noisy
If you are buying Airtex pumps, I wouldn't be surprised if they're natural failures. 2 years ago, I installed the first replacement in a 5.7 Ram truck. It lasted 4 months. I replaced it, warrantied part, lasted -3 days-, replaced it again.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: short lifespan
This is my second Bosch 044 fuel pump that I've been through within a year time span. FYI when I was running a Walbro fuel pump, it never died on me. I decided to switch to the Bosch 044 because I've read that it was a lot more reliable than the Walbro. My first Bosch 044 fuel pump started going bad when I couldn't hear the buzzing noise. I got them from USRT and they suggested that I bang it with a hammer. Well I did and it started buzzing again. That worked for a little bit, soon after it stopped buzzing even after I hit it with a hammer. Connected jumper wires straight from the +/- side of battery and nothing. My conclusion, it's dead or fried. My second Bosch 044 is starting to do the same.
Cons: short lifespan, unreliable, stopped working
