vs
Fuel pump WALBRO or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
And an electronic fuel pump.
Pros: electronic fuel pump
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I took it to the dealer today and they replaced the low pressure (in fuel tank) fuel pump. So far, so good.
Pros: so far, so good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 18000 km
Walbro 450 fuel pump and VR6 radiator are next to order.
So it looks like they solved the problem. Swapped out the fuel pump. I guess it was having issues with low fuel pressure. Said they metered it earlier but didn\u2019t find anything. Low and behold, it fixed it.
Pros: solved the problem
Cons: low fuel pressure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
At 176,000 KM there has only been one issue. Fuel pump! It was covered under warranty. No issues at all with timing chain or related parts. Nothing else at all.
Pros: no timing chain issues
Cons: fuel pump issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 176000 km
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
Pros: no surging, no stalling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
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.)
Pros: great service
Cons: metallic rubbing sound
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 6437 km
One thing I've noticed with worn fuel pumps is they will still physically operate, but they won't put out the 70psi they're supposed to put out, or their flowrate decreases. In the case of my R32's pump, the flowrate and pressure were significantly decreased, and the load on the circuit was increased. Lots of resistance, overloaded the relay.
Pros: physically operate
Cons: flowrate significantly decreased
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I personally wish I went with a non walboro option for what it's worth. Just annoying loud on low tank.
Cons: annoying loud on low tank
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
No, I just spent $2,500 on my 2015 Tiguan, replaced fuel pump, engine harness, n80 valve,crankshaft sensor, cleaned carbon build up....and I had the car back for 2 days and it stalled again...I'm pissed....time to sell and NEVER buy a VW again!
Cons: stalled again after replacement
