That was just I picture I found on the Internet now, my new pump was brand new, never been used.That used pump has done a lot of Kms. Are you sure the 1.2 and 1.4 pumps are the same? So what was wrong with your pump?

Also for the 1.2 not 1.4. I was just trying to show how what it looks like.That was just I picture I found on the Internet now, my new pump was brand new, never been used.
No, I didn't. I'll make sure to do that. Thanks.Ok, should be good then. Did you shine a powerful torch into the tank to see if the bottom was full of crud?
Thanks, I'll try to clean it.It's normally a condition of the pump warranty that the tank is cleaned before fitting. I use a cheap hand pump from TK Max to drain the dregs. I think you will find its full of crud and causing all your problems.
Thanks, I'll recheck everything one more time, can't hurt.I would recheck the fuel filter.There could still be air in the filter or leaking connections. The return line is also under pressure back to the tank, but any loose connection or degraded pipe will allow air into the system.
I've been doing that for a couple of months but since I got that whining noise and started to change the two pumps it has been very unreliable and facing downhill didn't always do the trick anymore.I have had a very similar problem for two years ever since I bought my car. It does not have the pump but is a tdi, and needs to be parked in a nose down position otherwise much cranking is needed. I keep meaning to get round to things. My suggestion is that you park in a nose down position all the time, either reversing on to your drive or driving in and see if this resolves the problem, if you make it a habit. Minor leaks can be very hard to trace.
I suspect the tandem pump, but I also have the vague idea that air may be leaking in from the auxiliary heater also or perhaps the fuel supply is entirely separate? At any rate, my current plan is to do nothing.
