Suction Jet Pump

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Volkswagen R32. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

On vehicles with all wheel drive the shape of the fuel tank dictates that a suction jet pump unit is required to pump fuel to the fuel delivery unit from the area of the fuel level sensor 2.

A test must only be performed, if the engine stops running due to lack of gas, even though the fuel gauge indicates the fuel tank is 1/4 full.

Procedure

-- Remove the fuel delivery unit. Refer to FUEL DELIVERY UNIT .

-- Remove the fuel level sensor 2. Refer to FUEL LEVEL SENSOR 2 .

-- Now the suction jet pump can be pulled out on the side of the fuel level sensor 2 (left side of vehicle).

-- Check that the fuel hoses/lines on the suction jet pump are installed securely and are not damaged.

-- Additionally check the suction jet pump for contamination if necessary.
