Do you happen to have a part number for the pump control module? I figured I'll replace that too.

If I find a gap this week in the evening, I’ll mount the rear shocks
and springs first.
Nothing difficult to mount and adjust…😎

The front is basically the same but I’ve got to disassemble the gearbox mount along with the dogbone mount and press in the Vibra-Technics gearbox bushing in… also the SuperPro wishbones with all new bushings and the Tyrolsport deadest ridgid collars…

That’s going to be a workout 😅 But it must be done😎
And then finally… the brakes🤩

So it won’t be boring the next couple of weeks😉👍🏻

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.

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..

I will never use Autodoc again. Ordered febi parts and they just changed the order to their own brand stuff, and sent it out. And when I complained I had to jump through an absolute ton of hoops to get a refund.  Never again.

Partsinmotion are my preferred online autofactors

Nice and well done with the venture.
