[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 572512, member: 14679"] That's probably about right. Parts tend to fail when they're old enough that materials have disintegrated or when they're put through some kind of change in circumstances that they weren't built for. Change in circumstances in this instance is that your fuel pump wasn't sitting on a nice warm shelf in a warehouse. Unfortunately that's pretty typical, a lot of the parts you can buy now don't have a hope of lasting. So, you can buy a rebuild kit if your fuel pump looks like this: [img]http://hotvws.com/images/hot_vws_articles/45/pump01ab_photo1_620px.jpg[/img] If it's a new one however, they're crimped together rather than screwed- you'll need a new pump.
