Where is the fuel pump on a FWD B7? I've searched for it briefly and to no avail.
Many thanks
UPDATE: Got the car running properly at lunch time first go, puzzled.
I'm going to replace the fuel filter as it hasn't had one since new, 8 years ago, and then see how it goes.
I'm wondering if it is this that is causing the problem?

I cant say for sure that the fuel filter is/was the issue. But its defenitly something that should have been changed as part of the regular maintenance considering it isnt expensive anyway. Even if it is not the issue. At least it will be done. And will be good for another 20k miles.
Could fit the filter and clear the codes and see if anything returns.
The lift pumps can get dead areas on the commutators in the motor so sometimes they work sometimes they dont.
Cheers guys for all the posts.Only time I have had fuel pump issues on a VAG car in the last 15 years it was the fuel pump relay. It's usually number 167, not looked on the B7 but would imagine it's somewhere under the dash near the CCM.
