any difference between 1.8 and 3.0 fuel pump?

[kindacool03a4]

i have a crappy, noisy, ready to die fuel pump in my 1.8t, but do not want to pay $312.46 at the dealer for a pump. however, i do have an opportunity to attain a 3.0 fuel pump at a huge savings over stealership price. any insight? thanx!

are u sure its not the fuel filter, they make noise when then are end of life, that is an easy cheap way to make sure its the fuel pump, as for the actual pump i would think they are the same thing but i could be wrong

If it ends up being the fuel pump genuineaudiparts.com has them for $190. $224 if you don't have Quattro.

Interesting, the quattro fuel pumps are cheaper?

[Condo]

Yeah, it's the same way with the fuel filters too. Doesn't make much sense.

Are they different?

I'm not sure how they're different but they are listed separately with and without quattro with FWD the more expensive of the two.

i just did the fuel filter, which i definitely thought would do the trick, but no.

prob not the same..

1.8 quatt PN: 8E0 906 087P
3.0 quatt PN: 8E0 906 087N

list is the same price for each, but the 3.0 costs a lil less wholesale.

i got the pump, filter and gasket for $220 @ my dealership.. its a fun biatch to change.... get ready

no offense but u are driving a german luxury car (albet a low end one but nonetheless) parts are going to be expensive....
