Thank you so much for this! Literally saved me a few hundred pounds! People
like you are what makes YouTube!
thank you , very detailed
My new pump did not come with a new rubber gasket, I had to re-use my old
one.
Hello guys, I am having a hard time with my 2005 jetta. When I turn it on
and the engine is cold, it works just great, but when I have been driving
for a will, and I turn it off and then try to turn it on again, it won’t
start. It gives the crancking sound, but it does not start. Then I wait for
around 30 min and try to start it, and it finally starts. Pleas let me know
what you think the problem could be . My email is

thank you so much… you guys just saved me a whole lot of time and money
Well most of the time if the pumps not working you wont have too much
pressure but sometimes there will be some pressure and yes fuel will come
out but you can take some of that pressure off by the Schrader valve on the
fuel rail just push it in with something to release pressure, and deff dont
turn on the key while the lines are off or you can make a big mess quick ,
but if your changing it yourself you already know not to turn the key on.
Trying to diagnose my daughters Jetta, just stopped turning on. It cranks
over but just wont start. How can I check if fuel is not getting to
injectors and figure if its the fuel pump or not? Thanks!
Does the gas tank has to be empty to avoid a gas spill?
I am not a mechanic at all. But I followed this video. .and it worked
great! Thanks so much!!
No you dont have to drain it, BUT you do have to put something down because
the pump itself will leak extra fuel no matter what you do so just be ready
for that spill , i use newspapers or shop towels
I just looked the jetta dont have the normal schrader style valve so just
unclip the fuel line it will release pressure just make sure the motor is
not hot
My 99 Jetta A3 model does not have the access in the back seat. It looks
like its in the trunk area but has some rubberized seal glued over what I
think is the access to it. Are you familiar with this?
Couldnt sleep last night ? :p well if the gauge is doing that id bet one of
two things bad gauge in cluster or the sending unit in the tank is starting
to go bad , but if you know your car and mileage then i wont worry too much
about it acting up here and there , id only worry bout it when it
completely stops working . Thanks for watching
Thanks. I ask because i just tried to change the pump and it started
leaking a lot of fuel and had to put the line back really fast. In some
forums they say you have to open the fuel intake to release pressure and
remove the fuel pump fuse to avoid spills. i might try that.
Excelent, i’ll try that. Thanks.
runrunner439 nice video you can unplug the electrical connector to the pump
assembly and crank the engine over a couple times and relive pressure and
remove the gas cap for a few seconds then reinstall the cap to relive tank
pressure. and one more thing there are marks on the tank and pump assembly
that you line up so that unit is aligned properly. but a very good video.
hope you don’t mind the input.
what is fuel pump function in the car i mean if the car doesnt start could
be also because fuel filter
Wow…this was so helpful, thanks for making this video, you are a life
saver!
Well the fuel pump pressurizes the fuel rail so the injectors have correct
pressure to supply the motor with fuel, first i would check if it is
actually coming on or even spray a tad of starting fluid into the throttle
body and see if it starts, if it starts you know you have a fuel issue
I have a 03 beta non turbo and sometimes my gas gage moves from left to
right…I hope this helps
Two very simple things to get you started, pop the back seat up and get her
to turn the key on while you listen to see if the pump turns on. Second you
can undo the air cleaner and spray a little starting fluid if it starts you
know its a fuel issue if it dont start its something else
No priming needed, those pumps go right down to the fuel
Beautiful !!! Thank you man !! Do more vids on Jettas if you can.
Thank you! A very easy to understand video. I’ll try this next week when
the part arrives.
Nice,helpful vid bud! Keep up the good work!
Does the pump need to be primed?
