I cant comment on the APR pump as i have never fitted or sold one, but we have fitted 30+ autotech internsl kits and sold lots more, never had a single problem, personally I cant see any benefit in paying £700+ for a complete pump.

We just finished a group buy over on Vagoc.co.uk so you have just missed out on that one, but I do have a few pumps left over if you are interested, while I was in the USA I collected 50 pump kits and have approx 11 to sell and 10 to keep as workshop stock for the next 3 months.

id bet if youstarted a poll with who has used what fuel pump, you would have a good 90% having used autotech without issues

I think we went through a time when some of the internals manufacturers had issues.  I wonder how many people would have known if they had an issue at all??

Not many I bet.

I had an AT pump a long time ago when they very first came out and it worked well, it's still running in a car now and has covered a lot of miles - but the current owner does know what to look for if it were to have a problem.

APR probably dont like the brits after this recent APR/awesome-GTI escapade, so i wouldn't expect much lol

I don't think APR would have anything against the Brits, from what I know APR Europe(Awesome) and APR USA could not work together any longer for a number of reasons and decided it was best to part company, hence Awesome becoming a REVO dealer.

The biggest issue with selling internals is that often people have a go at diy, its pretty simple, but easy to get something in the wrong way round.

This is why we offer a fully fitted option for just £50 or will rebuild a customers pump for £25, the more cost effective we make it, the less chance people will try and diy and possibly make a mistake.

As said there were a few problems with some internals been manufactured out of tolerance a few years ago this resulted in some of the pumps leaking fuel in to the engine  :scared:

The apr items are fully assembled and tested by APR to ensure no faults are present before fitting, there is also a different rated spring on the APR. Its up to the individual if the piece of mind is worth the extra £400!!
