[Vwdiesel] '02 Golf starts/dies

[Tony and Lillie]

On from a gasser will drop right in. Problem is, at 30+PSI, that could 
provide some issues. I don't know what the TDI pump could handle, but I do 
know the Bosch pump on the Cummins 24V's get 3-5PSI from an electric pump 
mounted to the side of the block.

BTW, the pump in your Cabriolet, was that the two pump system originally? If 
so, that one is a low pressure pump to feed the main fuel pump (CIS, that 
is)

HTH,
Tony

I bet you can easily put the pump in the tank, I'd be surprised if one from 
a gasser didn't drop right in.  (Assuming the gassers had lift pumps.)  The 
4wd may well also drop in.

Making it run might be a bit of a challenge, since the wiring may not exist. 
Or, VW may have used the same harness with the sending unit's wiring, which 
would mean you'd only need to install a relay or something like that.

But my Cabriolet I converted had a lift pump, and I left it intact.  It was 
very nice to have it when I changed a filter or otherwise opened the fuel 
system to prime everything.  Also I think a bit of pressure prevented 
bubbles in the line.

I have no idea if any of that was helpful at all... :0
