Final word on fuel pump purchase?
It's fuel pump failure for my 97. I reviewed 2008 posts on pump replacement, but saw no final word on the most economical price or place to get the pump. Any guidance appreciated

Re: Final word on fuel pump purchase?
I have designated myself as the sacrificial lamb. I ordered this one.
http://www.ignitioncarparts.co.uk/detailspage.aspx?searchStr=PFP405052002001Z ($257.11)
They swear that it is straight from siemen's and it is the VDO405052002001Z. I have not recieved it yet. When I do and install I will post the results.
It is not the entire housing just the pump that goes in the housing. The complete housing can be had at www.genuinevwaudiparts.com for 549.75 part # is 4D0298087B.
No, I don't have a final word until I recieve, install and test.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ignitioncarparts.co.uk/detailspage.aspx?searchStr=PFP405052002001Z">http://www.ignitioncarparts.co.uk/detailspage.aspx?searchStr=PFP405052002001Z</a</li></ul>

I too will be donning the white fur and pink eyes and ordering from the outfit in Poland this week.
A kind forum member residing in the EU will reship it to me as they do not ship to the US. If it pans out perhaps a GB will entice them to ship stateside. I have no *immediate* plans to install it but my Rossatobin is empty. I will post photos and such when it arrives.

P.S. IIRC the outfit in Poland was the low cost leader by quite a margin.

Wouldn't it be nice if
There were a couple of pump units on the shelf stateside that could be drawn on when the need arises. Like when Tozo was broken down roadside.
The replacement is available with a credit card transaction and stock replacement is the follow up.
Like the timing belt tools, only different ;-)
A weakness of such a scheme is if there gets to be a sourcing difficulty or price change.
Well, if several listers make purchases , the benefit is in place anyway.
Random thoughts.
