Fuel pump replacement on 1985 4000S Quattro

[Rick Liotta]

My 85 Quattro 4000 seems to need a fuel pump.

Fuel pump hum has been load now for about a year or 2.  This morning the car 
started then died after a second.  Then crank, crank, crank -- nothing.  In 
5 minutes it starts and runs again for a second then dies.  AND---  no more 
pump hum-- complete silence.

Is replacing a fuel pump a job for a DoItYourSelfer?

Thanks very much--- Rick
