Fuel Pump

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Volkswagen Passat. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Fuel pump performance measures fuel pressure and volume availability, not regulated fuel pressure.

FUEL PUMP PERFORMANCE

Application

psi (kg/cm(² )

Min. Vol. In 30 Sec: Pts. (L)

⁽²⁾ 87-94 (6.1-6.6)

1.0-1.4 (0.5-0.7)

GLX ⁽¹⁾

58 (4.0)

1.0-1.4 (0.5-0.7)

⁽¹⁾	Using Adapter Cable (VAG 1348/3-2) between battery positive terminal and terminal No. 4 of fuel pump relay socket. Fuel pump energized, with 10-12 volts at fuel pump and engine off.

⁽²⁾	Briefly operate starter and ensure fuel pump runs for at least one second. Alternate method is to disconnect Electronic Control Module (ECM) and ground terminal No. 12 using Remove Control Switch (VAG 1348/3A).
