Hey cheers for the video, does this have to be coded when a new one is in?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're welcome !

[@Giannis_Alexopoulos]

Thanks for the video. I am getting a p2540 code. Is it probably a bad fuel pump? I have changed already the cam follower, the low fuel pressure sensor and the fuel pump module? Thanks in advance

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

A bad fuel pump is one possibility.

[@Giannis_Alexopoulos]

Can you think of any other problem, in order to take a look? @@screwsnutsandbolts

[@lindokuhleceke4703]

Hi there,have that same code too,replaced the cam follower and low pressure fuel sensor. Now noticed my hard starts in the morning I have to leave the key on for 10 seconds to get a quick start. Otherwise it just cranks if I don't. Thanx to this man's video ill replace my fuel pump soonest.

[@ElSe1904]

Is there a need to do any adaptation of the new fuel pump? I'm asking for the Golf MK5 GTI

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

No I don't think so, but Im not 100% sure to be honest

[@malikm.kraishan5362]

why the arrow should be pointed towards the rear of the car?

[@misterzee5736]

Thanks for this. I did the same test with my replacement. Works out of the tank. Inside the tank, doesnt work. It did once, then dropped to zero as I was about to move off. Maybe I installed the pump the wrong direction. However my Polo 1.2 TSI 2015 does not have any markings which line up with anything outside. There are only two arrows on the pump one points to one outlet R which I assume is return. The other 'V' which points at the side of the pump but what on earth does V mean. Vorne? Which is front in German. Could you offer any help please? Car starts and runs fine, just showing empty. Also I can get the float to work in the tank but so far from the pipes for a connection. Makes no sense.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Are you sure you have the correct replacement part, did you measure it up to the old one ?

[@Passengervehicles]

Can the pump be changed separately ?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Yes you can disassemble the sender unit and change the pump

[@anoldtexta8]

So when the gas reading aren't correct in the instrument cluster this is what needs to be replaced?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

A faulty sender unit is certainly one possibility.

[@BLahBLahBLahBLah584]

Does the fuel pump have a filter on it and can it be replaced?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

The fuel filter is usually under the car near the fuel tank as shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnqqp4lrg6ihm9E

[@soriniovita6464]

Hi, what kind if engine is that? 1k1 BCA?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I'm not sure, I don't have the car anymore, sorry.

[@teisopam3338]

Yes BCA

I think they are different but I'm not 100% sure

[@ana_cripita]

hello, I have a golf 5 1.9 105 bkc engine, I have a problem, it made a short circuit and there is no light on the board, it starts and the second second it stops, can you help me?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I can't, sorry. You'll probably have to have a mechanic take a look at it.

[@thiagofiladelfo7992]

Is P0089 engine light code?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It's one possibility: www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0089-obd-ii-trouble-code-fuel-pressure-regulator-1-performance-by-spencer-clayton

[@Dance4lifeBR]

I hate that electric plug on the fuel pump lol

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Lol. Some of them can be difficult to remove. This one wasn't too bad :)

[@Dance4lifeBR]

@@screwsnutsandbolts that's why I hate them hahahaha

[@mdbabor7679]

Whey you open betray

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

To remove the risk of an electrical spark igniting the fuel vapour as you work on the pump.
