TBH Steve-us £130 is not a bad price! I cant get em lass than that anymore. Could get em for £100 until a few weeks agao. They are BRILLIANT though (2 on my 90!!

)

Just habg fire till you can get one, don't be tempted by an aftermarket, cheap version of even a standard one. You'll not be much better off than you are now. The 044 doesn't flow that much more fuel than standard one, it's that it can maintain high pressure under much more load. That makes the engine burn fuel more efficiently and so give more power at high revs. It will cure ya starting lumpy as it keeps pressure high even when your injection system components have become a little tired.

Hi Ben!

Thanks very much for this assistance.It seems the other 044 thread I started has yielded an answer for us all mate.Theyre £60-70 from GSF.I take it I need a 5 bar one not a 10 bar??
Also,could you make clear which size adapter I need.Im thinking 8mm inlet from what Ive picked up...

Also shes getting that rocker cover gasket.

Then,its fitting the pump.This should give me a chance to get rid of the rust around those fuel pipes (eaaaasy does it!) which wont pass the next MOT.
I'll then get the mixture and idle set up (what do you want doughnuts or a fat McDonalds Ben???) during an AVP fly-by.

The tandem pump for the power steering and brakes is doing a golden shower now on my cambelt cover,so Im on the lookout for a replacement.Im hoping I can sort one out from East Coast Dismantlers off their blue one.Id like to overwhorel mine though.

Thats all for now folks

Yeah yeah yeah

Im glad you posted on this 'un Mand.

A big thankyou to Amanda for sorting me out with a replacement steering wheel for my 200.Apparently this fine one came spare in the boot of TJT,the most recent,reddus Quattage.

Makes a big difference,its like having a new knob it is,except mines automatic.

will a Bosch 044 do anything for my 100 quattro 2.3 10V NF (non turbo?)

I know there is a pump mounted in the tank, is there another one too???

SteveCat · 01-07-10, 09:22 PM

Yes mate it will....

It gives more go at higher revs due to the amount it can put through.

SteveCat · 06-07-10, 01:34 AM

OK,well Ben at AVPerformance told me when picking up my 200 that the Fuel Pump was on its last legs.

Shes struggling to cope now,and I had to resort to adjusting the mixture this morning,and the Air Volume screw to get me back home again.

I just cant afford another £150 for a new fuel pump after her top end rebuild.

So if anyone can help with a good working fuel pump,this will do for now.I shall endeavour to find out how to test it (advice needed from you guys would be ideal),then fit it.

I hope to then run her over to see Ben for re-setting up.

Oh,and Im after a centre exhaust section for a 200T!! Found one on ebay which is a relief.If anyone has a spare 20 of them lying around

then I'll take them awff yr hands!

Cheers
