Great video helped me 😊 I got my MK1 225 Quattro upgraded fuel pump from Demon Tweets very professional company at a good price and the guy on the phone had great knowledge about cars I have since purchased several times since from them and have great service every time which I appreciate greatly 😊👍
My pumps just gone this morning. Managed to pull the seats up give it a tap with a hammer to get it going again. But will be swapping it for an updated one. Great Video cheers 👍
When I changed mine I fitted 2 new seals to the pumps and they were very tight to get the pump back, used some silicon spray that helped. Got the seals from Germany. Great video tho mate.
Same mate im hoping around the 270-280 mark with these mods but you never know if there is something else holding the car back if will be interesting and hopefully the clutch can hold out
@@CarChris82 Nice vid. I've got an urgent dilemma I hope someone can help with. I've been through a real drama with my Audi TT Roadster Mk I and ultimately a new fuel filter is the best initial course of action. During fitting, the rubber plugs won't come off both the ends of filter (access isn't easy either). One comes off nicely using a slight tap with a hammer and a screwdriver...almost home! : ) But.. the other end [clearly the filter is so old!] that the long metal pipe end sheers off nearer the base of the rubber plug and is wedged there!! Any net geniuses with any amazing solutions get back to me... pls. Sigh.
Hi ! Of I undestand your problem, Do you know that there is a way to disconnect theses ends ? Like chris did it to unplug the pipes on the begining, you have to press both sides of the connector, before pulling it. I did that mistake too when I wanted to replace the filter. Same as the fuel pipes under the hood. Same procedure.
HI. Thank you for this nice tutorial. I Have a fully stock TT FWD with the need of a fuel pump replacement. Is this suitable for a fully stock car or jut tuned cars? Thank you in advance.
Nice job ! I did that several month ago, but only to clean the level contactors witch indicate wrong fuel level 😬 What a mess to reassemble the jonction between the main pump and the other stuff on the right part of the tank 😵😵 And that gas smell, phew ! Made me sick .
Cheers mate this is on my list cos when I put fuel in too quick there’s an epic leak underneath & the interior stinks really bad so I suspect it’s this
Thanks mate I think it was worth doing as the age and millage on the car. It would have been easier to do the whole thing but I wanted to upgrade the pump
Everything has gone relatively well replacing my fuel pump until now. I can't get the pickup tube bracket connected to the pump. Through the process of the removal and replacement, I have referred to your video several times and up to this point has been very helpful. But it has been extremely difficult with this bracket. Not much room to move and align things in the tank as you know. I hope you or your viewers can add any additional details, photos or videos so I can get this back on the road. Also... why does this bracket need to be attached to the fuel pump? Thanks!
It very tight in that area but it has 2 sort of hooks from what I remember that just slot in but if you have the fuel pump housing to tight it reduces the space to hook in, hope this helps
@@CarChris82 I have been working on the remainder of the install so once I get the pick up tube bracket connected, I am familiar with the final steps of the process. I stumbled upon another issue which is, when I try to hold the pump down so that I can screw on the large threaded ring that holds the pump in place, I can't get the pump down far enough to line the threads up and screw it down. I put on a new seal and still have the same problem. Seems like I am the only person having so many problems with this install.
Hi mate its not a big job but if its your first time allow an hours or so, I have the pump that came out of my car still that fully works if your interested
@@CarChris82 I'm just in the process off going stage 2. Turbo has been sent off. Like the idea of an upgraded one. I have a spare stock one. I work in a scrap yard 🤣
On a Quattro split fuel tank do both sides of the tank always have the same level of fuel in them? Does the fuel pump suck out the same amount of fuel from both sides? Is there a fuel level sender in each side?
I believe the other side pump pumps to this side as I connected a pipe from the other side but I've not looked at it, there is only one sender unit for the fuel gauge
2 sender units, via the angled connections it pushes fuel to the other tank (with a siphon pump), which siphons out at approximately equivalent rate (this done by sizing the siphon pump and the rate the main pump is pumping to it)
I did this a couple months ago - I absolutely could not get one of the new nylon pipes back onto the pump without breaking the top of the pump - it would not go with force, even heated a little. I ended up having to find an alternative more flexible fuel-submersible hose with some jubliee clips. Finding that hose was difficult too - not many materials like living in petrol. One of those jobs where you have to put it all back together and go order more shit from the internet.

Doesn't sound good but there will always be a way to sort it.to my understanding the metal part of the fuel filter has broke off and is stuck in the connector? If so get something to press the tabs on the connector (fuel filter pliers) if you can get some and then put a screw in the metal part to pull on while pressing the connector
@@CarChris82 Bless ya for your response. Here's my little tale as posted on a TT forum the next day : ) : Underneath the car I'm thinking furiously, lol. I've decided to use a drill bit to wedge into the metal pipe and try pull the connector plug off. I'm forced to break the metal clasp around the filter (as the filter holding screw was totally rusted / fused and was going nowhere...sigh). The drill bit wedged into the metal pipe wasn't quite enough as the metal was so tight to the rubber ( I believe it's the original fuel filter - and it had SO much crap in it!). I then tried a sharp knife to gouge out some of the rubber around the metal edge - but couldn't get enough purchase. Went back to my drill bit set and noticed I had some micro drill bits (about inch / half long). Keeping the plug and the drill vertical (so I couldn't pierce the plug rubber ( approx. 4mm thick), I drill around the metal pipe edge for about 5 minutes to loosen it from the rubber. Tried the flush drill bit 'pull out' test but still no luck. I leave the bit in the metal pipe and spray WD40 around the end of the pipe / rubber plug. Two tugs of the drill / pull of the plug .. and out the metal pipe comes!!! : ) So f........ pleased, lol! I connect up the fuel filter, patch up the clasp with electric tape and all is secure. The car starts third time and runs smooth. Now to test (now tomorrow if weather improves) to see whether it stalls... wish me luck!
Update: All is fixed. There's been; no further £75 'for not very much 'call out mobile mechanic fees / no £200 min. CCM send away costs / no £75 transporter costs / no garage telling you you need a new fuel pump fitted at £400 total or a new wiper motor or fuel injection system! There's just been a top brand fuel filter (reduced by 75% in a sale to £5), my travel and time costs, willingness to fit parts / problem -solve *and 60% of a £9 bottle of Redex to get my car back as before* ! SMH.
Hey Chris. Just a quick thanks for the video - I've just done this job on my roadster and being able to see the steps in advance was very helpful.

Great video, thanks 👍
Thanks for the video! Well done and clear! It's very strange how Mini Cooper S R53 fuel tank and pump is very very identical.
Just put the same pump in my mk1. This video really helped!
Now I just have to fit my forged rods and hybrid turbo 🙄
I love the videos you do that know one else does like you do,fantastico 👍😁
cheers mate and thanks for the support 👍
Looking forward to see what the remap produces

Thanks, this is on my to do list🙂
No worries mate glad the vid helped 👍
Well done rKid 👏👏👍

Hopefully this has taught me enough to get me out of jail tomorrow!
Your be fine mate 👍

Great tuition Chris, I bet your TT stinks of fuel now!!! 👏🏼
Thanks mate it did a bit but all good now 👍
HI. Thank you for this nice tutorial.
I Have a fully stock TT FWD with the need of a fuel pump replacement.
Is this suitable for a fully stock car or jut tuned cars? Thank you in advance.
Will you have to map the car after installing this pump. Did you notice an excessive amount of fuel being burned before you mapped the car?
Nice job ! I did that several month ago, but only to clean the level contactors witch indicate wrong fuel level 😬 What a mess to reassemble the jonction between the main pump and the other stuff on the right part of the tank 😵😵
And that gas smell, phew ! Made me sick .
Its not a nice job to do as you know but once its done you should be all good for a long time 👍🏻
Have to do it again, since I just bought a Sytec too 😅 Let’s dive into tank !
Cheers mate this is on my list cos when I put fuel in too quick there’s an epic leak underneath & the interior stinks really bad so I suspect it’s this
Where is it leaking from ? You may have to much back pressure and a vent might be blocked or something
Great video
Thanks mate appreciate the support 👍
Great video Chris was thinking of doing mine for my v6 but think I was going to replace hole sender unit as well looks slightly easier to do lol 👌
Thanks mate I think it was worth doing as the age and millage on the car. It would have been easier to do the whole thing but I wanted to upgrade the pump
@@CarChris82 do you no if there is an upgraded one for the v6 ?

@@CarChris82 is it necessary to have this connected to the pump. I have been trying to do this all weekend mate.

This pump can be used with E85 fuel?
Nice one Chris,where did you get the pump from? Do you know if its the same as the 3.2 v6?
hi mate I put a link in the description i think its just for a 1.8t mate
Thanks ill check it out
Why didn't you replace the second pipe?
Hi chris. I believe my pump is not supplying enough pressure. How long did it take to do.
Hi mate its not a big job but if its your first time allow an hours or so,
I have the pump that came out of my car still that fully works if your interested

I’m guessing the new pump has a higher flow rate? Or more pressure ?
Exactly that mate std I believe is 95lph and this is max 378lph

One of those jobs where you have to put it all back together and go order more shit from the internet.
They are definitely a bit stiff i just sort of twisted it on and it went but as long as you have used a fuel grade hose its all the same 👍🏻
Can you recommend a blow off dump valve to get please
I got a vid on fitting the forge one these 1.8t are designed for a recirculation valve not a blow off 👍🏻
