038130073BR Volkswagen PUMP

Basically, this pump’s job is to suck fuel from your gas tank and send it up to the engine at the right pressure. It's a pretty simple idea, but it needs to be consistent. Modern pumps are usually electric, sitting inside the fuel tank, but some older vehicles have mechanical ones connected to the engine. It doesn’t just push, though; it has to overcome the resistance in the fuel lines and the fuel filter. It needs to maintain a steady flow, and most pumps have a built – in strainer to keep bigger bits of debris from getting through. It’s absolutely essential for getting fuel to your engine, obviously. Think of it like the heart of your fuel system – if it stops beating, the engine stops running. It works with the fuel filter, the fuel lines, and ultimately the fuel injectors to get gasoline or diesel where it needs to go. It’s a key component in the whole combustion process. A failing fuel pump can cause all sorts of problems. You'll notice if it starts to go bad with things like difficulty starting, sputtering or stalling, a loss of power, or a really rough idle. Sometimes you might even hear a whining sound coming from the fuel tank, especially when you turn the key. If it completely fails, you're not going anywhere. Ignoring the signs can also potentially damage other parts, like the catalytic converter. We carry a lot of different pumps, and you can find a good selection over at Fixparts Online. Replacing it when you first notice an issue is always the smartest move. Guaranteed quality: Pump (MPN 038130073BR) includes a 12-month warranty!
