Thanks to all who provided answers (both on and off-line) to my fuel
pump install questions I posed on the weekend.  Not a fun job.  The
Bentley doesn't tell you half the stuff you really have to do.  Like it
doesn't tell you that you really don't need to take the complete carrier
out (using VAG tool 3214) - you can just unclip the fuel pump from the
carrier (Thanks Fred, Bob and Bob).  Its really a Chinese/Rubic's cube
puzzle getting everything back into place and working.  For future
lister reference, I took some pictures and will do a write-up sometime
soon.

Prior to the job I had run the tank down to the 15L warning light but I
had to add a few L to get home. So I might have had 20L or so in the
tank this morning after I did my test drive yesterday.  I went out to
fill the tank tonight and the warning light came on literally as I was
pulling up to the pump.  It took 65.6 L (i.e. the warning was at 14.4
L).  It might be because I didn't get things exactly right (I think I
did) or it could just be a normal variation.  Full was "Full" so at
least I didn't hang the float up somewhere.

Now for some WOT RS2 testing with Chevron 94 with Techron and the Bosch
pump  ;>)
