Replacing Fuel Pump ?'s
 

Can I just replace the pump instead of the whole assembly? And if so, anyone know where to find an affordable one? I have a 1998 A8 4.2 QUATTRO.

Also, I've already checked the relay, the mechanic verified its definitely the fuel pump.

Anyone have any good links to a good DIY video or online tutorial?

yes...
 

I posted a few videos on youtube - do a search for "Audi A8 fuel pump".

Yep, Bob's videos plus:

It's in the UK...lots of folks order from them with no problem at a good price....seemingly not available seperately in the US.

Sweet!! thanks guys, I'll keep you posted as the repair progresses ;)

Great video, is that pump my only option? Anyone else out there have any luck with possibly an aftermarket pump that will fit?

short answer is no....
 

a bunch of us have tried but the VDO is the only one that has the extra pick up tube on the bottom.

i also have to install a fuel pump on my '98 Quattro... anyone have a good idea of all the tools i'll need?

Thanks. How do you know whether or not you just need to replace the fuel pump or the entire assembly? I am very much a novice when it comes to these cars.

It's rarely needed as I understand...haven't experienced a problem with mine..yet :)
But seems to always be the electric pump that fails...the other parts, which should be handled with great care when replacing pump alone, as I understand, are not prone to failure.
