Find a friend to help you replace the fuel pump. You can buy a fuel pump for under a $100

My son and I replaced the in-tank fuel pump in my SUV. Can't speak to how easy it would be in a VW, but it took us only a couple hours. I'm no mechanic, but this was pretty easy stuff.

An update:
Although the TDI's in 2002 didn't come with a fuel pump in the tank, there is a spot for one because they made so many versions of the Golf. If it was a gasoline Golf, there would be a fuel pump. There is an access door to the tank and a spot for a fuel pump. That would be a nice easy and MUCH cheaper solution. |

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-2005-V...-/113718501765 In 2004 they installed a pump in trunk as a pre or primer pump using the same injection pump. Haven't dealt with VWs much but it sounds like many a wife after 10 years being married... Just doesn't suck like it should I am thinking reseal and see if it fixes it. $30-40 plus labor.

I drive a 2013 Golf TDI.
I don’t really have anything else to add. 160,000 is really barely getting warmed up though. |

Man fuel issues in diesels are a pain in the cock.
The diesels I run are way different than those little TDIs. The first thing I’d do for any potential fuel problem is change the fuel filter. It’s the cheapest and most likely to cause restriction. If it loses pressure on the fuel rail or an injector is bad it should throw a code. Definitely check those. I’d think if restriction was coming from the fuel filter it would have a code for that too. If air is getting in, more than likely diesel is getting out. Look for a fuel leak. About the only exception would be in the intake side of the injection pump. Potentially a cracked fuel line or fouled seal could cause you to suck air. It’s possible but typically failures are caused on the pressure side - fuel lines and injectors. Visual inspection then run codes is my advice. |

[QUOTE=Holladay;
Yes, that is what we are looking at. Putting a "fuel pump" thru the trunk access panel into the tank. If that was what you were thinking about.[/QUOTE] Why, if you had an air leak, it would have air in lines, would run shitty, not want to start.
