Default Check the fuel pressure regulator.

Been down that road my friend. Replaced the damn pump only to find out it was the <i>much cheaper</i> regulator. Give it a shot.

Default How do you check it? (Rico Suave .... I mean RicoBlanco)>> Rich-whiteman

JK
Thanks for the info.
I know I Got like 100 pages to look through but it's gotta be the fuel pump (on My Car) or maybe as you mentioned the Fuel Pressure regulator.

Do I already have this info? (the regulator)
If so let me know and I will look through it all tonight.
If not, can you tell me where to look and how did you fix it?

Default The Audi gods are merciful on this one...

The fuel pressure regulator sits on top of the engine. Nice and accessible for once.

I e-mailed the test procedure to you. BTW, gringo I am (wife is Mexican so we came up with a Hispanic name for me), but rich, not so much! ;-)
