I got the fuel pump replaced in the Porsche. Will it run? Did I properly Diagnose the issue? Watch and find out!

So you only changed one pump
Where is this located?
thanks for your efforts, i have Porsche cayenne 2006 4.5 v8, MPG is very low less than 7, it is drinking fuel, i changed spark plugs, air filters, but no change, it is working normal, i noticed only one issue, if start-stop the car sever times (after 4th or 5th), it is making very similar to what happened in your video car, after 10 minutes, it works normal. my problem is this huge fuel consumption
thanks for your nice video, i have question why the car did not work with the non faulty fuel pump, it seems you changed only the left side pump
My 2004 Cayenne Turbo won't fire. Checked fuel pump fuses and relays, both good. I pressed the little valve stem (where you would put a fuel pressure gauge) when my buddy was turning the key, and no fuel came out – so I'm thinking one or both pumps are bad. Is there a way to test them? Also, I heard that a bad crankcase sensor can cause it to not start (I have been getting fault code P2016, but have had that for a while, and just changed both camshaft sensors, but not the crankshaft sensor)… should I start there? Do you have to remove the rear seat to access the fuel pumps?
Guys i have a porsche …please stay away from those fkn cars its only outside show but after u get the car they will fk u by the parts and the fixing prices
FrugalPrepper…I wanted to thank again for this video. I must've watched it several times before I had enough guts to do it on my 05 V8 Tuareg. Although this video was missing the connection of the hoses of the pump, I had to resort to other videos and diagrams to confirm my connection..needless to say, this video helps me to complete my project and this from someone who hasn't even changed oil on any of the cars I ever owned. I always had interest but was too afraid of breaking something.. This time around, I was in a tough bind financially after recently purchasing my first home, I couldn't afford to get another car. It was either take it to the dealer which would take for at least close to $1600 or buying a beat-up car for 1500. both were a gamble because I wasn't sure if my car needed a fuel pump or not and getting $1500 might cost me more…so after scouring the forums and videos, I was fully convinced that it was one of my fuel pumps. Since troubleshooting was beyond my knowledge, I decided, if I'm doing this work, I'm going all in and change both pumps, filter, and regulator which seemed the most logical thing to do if I'm taking things apart. I tallied all the parts and it came out to almost $600.00 including o rings and new bolts for the seats. The project took me about 3 hours and let me repeat, I have no prior knowledge in auto mechanics, this was done out of necessity and partial interest if I can actually do it. I'm glad that I made this decision, I would've spent tons of money but I have to say, this pandemic gave me the option to do this project on a warm day while I'm still at home. Had this pandemic didn't exist, I would've ended up with a cheap car and my Touareg would've sat on my driveway for another 3 months.
One thing I should mention, yes, it would be helpful to have a partner help with the connections especially when snaking the lines across the tank. Also, its best to get familiar with the connection. I went on a site for cayenne and someone posted pictures of their old fuel pumps, regulator, and filter connected to each other…once I took out all the parts, I used the picture to do the same with my old units as I took them out. If you are doing this for the first time, I also suggest, taking a picture of how before installing the pumps. It was also helpful because if you install the pumps in a certain way with the lines exposed, you can find yourself taking everything apart again because the filter or regulator won't fit. This was a tip from another video I learned. Make sure the o rings for both filter and regulator is properly fitted. I didn't fit the O ring properly and resulted in leakage of gas. luckily I was able to go back noticed gas coming from the O ring or seal.. soon as that was fixed..no leak
I'm going to attempt to fix this myself but I'm going to change both pumps..I've already changed the filter, I was able to get it running for an hour than I shut it off, now it wont start. Cranks but wont start. I got the vcds to check vw codes but this one doesnt come back with any related to fuel..thought it was crank start sensor with a g38 code but that isn't it. Yes I'm new to fixing this car but I've already done filter and im pretty confident I can do both. I'm just going to take my time. A saw a number videos but there was one that showed just about the complete step..and yes, when I watching your video, I knew you had to disconnect the pump on the other side. I have both pumps and can see how its connected with the help of a few diagrams. I'm working with a vw touareg v8 which is the same process of the Porsche. I was under the impression the main pump was on the passenger side and prime pump is on the left.. I'm curious what clip was it that broke off?
What side is primary pump and which side is secondary pump..which pumps pulls from bottom of tank or lowest point?. Drivers side rear seat is which pump? Primary?
Is a little dust/dirt falling in the tank ok ? I tried taking most of it out – but there may be a small amount in there still – I’m assuming the filter will stop it from moving to the injectors ? Top video !!
This is the worse video ever
There was no point, the video literally skips everything of relevance
shut the f'n door!! lol
A week and 2 days? Wow… Glad you were able to figure it out!
That's not fair! The ring wasn't even rusted in place! I've figured out that the reason cars needing a fuel pump always come in with a full tank is because whenever they start having problems with it, the first thing they do is make sure it has gas in it.
" said some words" lol
I miss the ease of good old mechanical fuel pumps that bolted to the block with two bolts…
If I may suggest Invest in some brass tooling for non spark jobs.id hate to see you in a bad spot Tom.like the vids keep em coming
Good video, you are a brave man
Typical German over engineered complicated BS
That's why you buy American
