I'd go with Bosch. A fuel pump isn't something I'd want to cheap out on and I'll have to get the OEM for something like that.
Bosch. Always use Bosch for the pump. They're the OEM and the vastly better service life than the cheap brands is more than worth the extra cost.
From what I’ve seen on here, the consensus is that the Bosch fuel pump is the only one that won’t die immediately
Finished! I got the new fuel pump installed last night (finished right at 10pm) and took it for a short test drive with just a 1/4 tank of gas. It looks like everything is working properly now, no surging, no stalling, and it idles better now than before
My sister's fuel pump was causing poor mileage in her 2015 mk7 golf sel - it eventually failed and was replaced under warranty and the car now gets as advertised...
I have them on two of my cars. I like the engine bay install the best. easier to do and quieter. The under the car version sounds like a busted chevy fuel pump sometimes. But after I upgraded the fuel filter the noise was reduced by half.
Love the car, but have just had the fuel pump replaced, driver-side window leak fixed, and a slight metallic rubbing sound related to the brakes(which the techs can't find yet.)
They rate the pump at 500 hours on ethanol and I think I actually got less than that. Although I have heard dsm and evo guys running these pumps with no issues for over a year my guess is our cars don't like it. This is a genuine 044 not a fake one. It was installed of July of last year and it ran pump fuel until December. My pump completely died on Friday and the car would not start. Luckily my friend had a spare one laying around that he wasn't using popped it in and the car started up again.
Amazon AND Bosch are still advertising the Bosch Premium Fuel Pump, part number 69740, as the correct part for the 2004 VW R32. It is NOT.
