That is brilliant!! Absolutely the most complete tutorial about the fuel pump on Audi TT I've found on the net. The only things you forget to precise is that the model you consider in this video, is the Audi TT 225HP Quattro.

Hello sir, I’m having an issue with my TT that I think may be the pump but am unsure. She fires up and drives at low revs, NOT in boost, just fine, but when I try to get on it at all, it sputters, and according to my aftermarket air/fuel ratio gauge, is running very lean while it sputters. Does this seem more like a broken fuel pump, or faulty injectors?

I've read the gaskets is not resealable and needs to be replaced if you open it up. I believe there's two level sensors, and I'm not sure which one needs fixing. If both seals ends up leaking and needs replacing, I don't want to wait for a week while the car smells of gas.

I had the same problem. Some additional tests besides tapping the pump is putting power in reversed manner. Put a + on the - and vice versa. The pump will turn the other way around. If that still doesn't get the pump alive you could try 24volt on the pump for a very brief moment. If the tests as described above don't help you'll have to walk home. 😁

Audi TT Mk1 Roadster 2000 stalling issues - CCM (ECU) / fuel pump module / or other..? 10 - 12 days ago: A serious UK rainy period and I note my drainage is working too great. I sort that out, test it and the drainage is back on track (I haven't dried around the back of the boot area). N.B. My CD player has suddenly stopped playing but the stereo is fine? About 6 days later, I'm driving the car and it cuts out and stalls. I re-start and it drives (but stalls again about 20 mins later). I re-start and it gets me home. The next morning the battery is flat and I jump start the car. It stalls 5 times en route to my destination and another 4 times halfway to my home - until the car refuses to start and just goes dead*. N.B. The time between stalling was shorter and shorter each time. * At this point I'm just thinking I have a duff battery or alternator is on its way out. I buy a new battery as a security. A mechanic comes out and identifies the old battery is fine (61% charge / 78% health) and the alternator and mass air filter have no issues! I have a car that idles happily, but over 4000 revs quickly cuts out and then eventually dies - to the point the battery appears flat and the alternator won't work!' My mechanic thinks the CCM is the problem with the most recent fault code stating 'intermittent comunication' (I assume from the CCM).* *N.B. My online forum research also revealed a corroded fuel pump module can cause almost the exact problems I detail - esp. as the rest of the car (via the CCM) is functioning as before / the car acts like it's running out of petrol before continually stalling / eventually dying. Basically, what would cause a battery and alternator not to work if they both don't have an issue? Surely once the car has started the alternator should just keep the battery charging ? (but it doesn't as, again, my car eventually dies as the CCM appears to shut down completely). Sorry this appears a bit of a novel but it's a full account of what has lead to this point. Any answers / advice, good people?

@@aaanton11 Hey champ. This may be useful for some out there (I just posted it on a Audi forum): In retrospect, I'm disappointed with my mobile mechanic callout, as he had more than enough time to do checks on my fuel pump (given obvious points made about driving issues due to not enough fuel appearing to getting through). It was all; ' send the CCM off to a his specialist ECU repair contact' - an often expensive route route I'd avoided previously. [ i.e. three years ago took my water / slight corrosion damaged CCM (ECU) to a local laptop repairer. Over 20 mins a bit of soldering and me being ONLY £20 lighter and I had 95% of my car's elctronic functionality back (the door lock syncing / alarm / hazards was still an intermittent issue). Quotes wre form £200 to just send it away - no guarantees to spending over well over £1000 with problems that could still be had trying to initialise my car keys! ]. Back to current: Two days ago, my car had a hairdryer in the rear for an hour and my CD player started working. Yesterday, I decided to test leaving the car to idle for 20 mins and see whether it would cut out. It stayed idling (bear in mind my stalling / fuel issues came under higher driving revs). Still, interesting it didn't cut out and good the [new] battery was now charging. A delay in getting a new fuel filter meant trying a few more tests. Getting into my car, I noted the weather has been so damp / rainy (and it has just been sat there) that I could really smell the damp. With no access to a dehumidifier, I decided an *mid -level power * electric heater would suffice over a couple of hours. Afterwards, I test my previously 'dead' windscreen washer pump... and a wash of normal spray comes out! I listen out for my fuel pump priming (as some videos advised) and that's engaging too! Plus, my CD player is once again fully operational (the washer pump and CD player weren't working before the drying). The above seems to suggest the only remaining issue is the fuel filter issue. It's now clear damp caused some mild havoc with my CCM and car earth points (as you suggested: ) Bottom line: Everything is moving in the right direction and my previous electronic functionality is back. It'll be interesting to what happens on a short test drive tomorrow (as I was down to 1/4 mile drive before the car would cut out !).
