Going over the MK7 VW GTI fuel pump RECALL

I wanted to talk about the fuel pump recall that I had to take care of recently on my 2019 GTI and I give a little update on plans for the future. The recall is for all MK7/7.5 Gti's and a few other vehicles, Enjoy 👍

Happened to my MK5 way back in 2010ish, 8000 fuel pumps on back order at that time for 8 months. No recall, no vehicle loaner, it was horrible. At least they recall the part now.

thanks dude! That does sound terrible tho, I'm very glad that it was relatively easy getting it done for the mk7.

[@MDC2222]

@@RyeGti Me too, they owned up to it which is great. I bought an MK8 recently which after all that with the MK5 is a statement as to how great these cars are even with the odd issues.

Enjoyed this! one thing I’ve noticed since getting the recall done on my mk7 is the increase in gas mileage have you noticed it yourself?

[@RyeGti]

It seems like a very slight change, but it might’ve also had to do with the oil weight I was using previously too. Maybe both

Thanks for the vid! Did you/ are you removing the silica bag in the coolant reservoir?

[@RyeGti]

I’ll probably take it out if I ever do a coolant flush in the future. Praying the bag doesn’t rip until then or at all lol.
