Audi GT5 1984 - Fuel pump not priming - Help!!

Dablad75 · 30-10-10, 10:50 AM

Hi all,
Does anyone have any suggestions for this, my old fuel pump was very noisey and didnt always prime, so I had a new one fitted (incuding filter) had a few pipes replaced too.

Still the pump wouldnt prime - in fact it's stopped priming altogther now, so I then bought a new relay - it still doesnt prime.

I've replaced the fuse (which was OK anyway) - still no joy.

Does anyone have any more suggestions before I take it to an auto electrician?

By the way, fuel pump does work - the car runs as it should but just takes a few attempts to get it started.

maybe its not the fuel pump which is the issue here? if it runs then i cant see it being the fuel pump,

does it do it when the engine is hot and cold?

Neither now - it's stopped priming altogther, but car does start (takes a few attempts when cold though)

I used to have a 2144 Coupe. Pretty sure it didn't prime the pump when starting
