Job done!!! New fuel filter and fuel pump fitted, back to running like a dream now!! £270 lighter tho but hey ho!! Now time to sell unfortunatly as looking to get a golf gtd mk7!!
Haha fuel filter will also be going on with the new pump!! And iv got some coolant ready to drop in just havent got round to doing it yet, and that flap has been removed, just waiting for my ever reliable mechanic to show up, tomorrow apparently :blahblah1::sex:
Haha just found those emojis...
Yeah that was my original thoughts when mechanic said it should lube itself up again. Hopefully hes coming to change it over tomorrow so should be good then!
It was sorted........ friday afternoon is ceased again!! New fuel pump has arrived today and is going in tomorrow with a bit of luck!! Fingers crossed that will be the job done!!
Right update.....
Finally got my mechanic round after a week of waiting, 3minutes later the car is running!!! The pump had ceased its self and by switching the power points he made it go backwards which un ceased it then she fired 1st turn of the key!! Leaving it to run for a while now to lube...
Im hoping so, saves paying a recovery team a fee to transport it to a garage. Thanks Dan. Ill keep you all updated on any progress but i doubt there will be until next week!!
In the boot, just behind the spare wheel compartment under a metal plate thats like the ones under the rear bench. Its pretty awkward to work in but its accessable, and the fuel feeds are on the top of the pump so cant really see why it couldnt be changed on the spot........
Yeah thats what im thinking. Is replacing the fuel pump a big job, ie does the tank need dropping or is it a job that can be done from inside the boot?? Can anybody provide a part number for the fuel pump, iv looked in the part numbers section and cant find it and have also searched online!?
Update..... my work mate (ex mechanic) has been round, the engine is getting a spark but no fuel. We took the fuel pipe apart at the high pressure nut/bolt thingy majig and whike turning over there was no fuel spurting out. So we found the fuel pump which was in the boot and took the feed pipe...
Thanks for the advice Dan i appreciate the help, its all leading me down the road to fixing it hopefully, the more i try the less iv got to pay the mechanics
Only just got in at 10.20, must of been some sort of traffic on your way home!! Thanks for coming round tho i appreciate it!! A lad at work used to be a mechanic at ford in aber so hoping hes going to pop back and look at it to check its sparking and fuel is getting to the engine, and also...
Right ok....... my stupidness is continuing!!! Just put fuel in and tried again to no sucess, then realised than we were looking at the temp gauge earlier and i have actually still got nearly half a tank of fuel, not doing myself any favours here am I........ jumping the battery may be my next...
Quick update, Ro55 has just been round with VAG.COM equitment and that brought nothing up that would stop the car running. He noticed my fuel gauge was on empty, we listened for fuel through tank and couldnt hear any, now i had 1/4 of a tank on monday evening 100%, so we checked the lock on the...
