GTI low pressure fuel pump change
ZoliWorks:
I've heard that a few times, yeah. Quick dig through the forums, they own Ridex and one other brand and they will occasionally swap out whatever you order with those parts, claiming the part you ordered isn't available, even tho their website says it is. They also dont notify you of this apparently.
Well anyway, I'm in luck. 1K0919051DB comes back as a valid part number for VDO 2803580112302 which is in stock at a friend's parts dealer for 125 euros. Now hopefully this VDO unit is a new-ish one and not leftover stuff from the early 2006 stockpiles lol
The only thing the surprises me is that all pumps claim an output pressure of 4 bar while we run them through 6.6 bar filters, maintaining an average hpfp feed of 5.5 bar and occasionally spiking to 7. At least in my case..

The original pumps like what I took out were 6.6 but the newer ones were 6.4 from the TSI age but are backwards compatible with the TFSI.
First proper cold start at 7 degrees C this morning and no issue at all and a slightly faster start and a smoother initial drive from cold.
ZoliWorks:
Do you happen to have a part number for the pump control module? I figured I'll replace that too.
mjmallia:
Mine is 1K0906093H made in 2012 but the latest PN ends in J.
The J has been redesigned again and has a metal back plate for heat dissipation (some of the later H version have this from about 2016 - my H is the older all plastic version).......might upgrade again in due course..........I need to stop LOL.
I recall the really problematic controllers ending in B and D, but they all do eventually......my original was a D and the first mod I made to the car :laugh:
