[V6-12v] Fuel Pump Removal Tool- 1995 Audi 90 Q

[Frank Chapchuk]

Replaced my fuel pump on a '92 100 a few years ago. Not sure
if the

procedure is the same for your car. After I realized what
the Bentley was

telling me to do, the job wasn't too bad. Once the job was
done, someone

told me of an easier method.

  The Bentley uses a special tool
to grab the housing

and turn it about 1/4 turn to remove it. I used a long
screwdriver and

rubber mallet (no sparks). There are notches on the housing
where you can

position the screwdriver. Tap the screwdriver with the
mallet to turn the housing.the 1/4 turn.


 

Once the housing is out there is a clip (or two) you remove
and the fuel

pump will pull straight out of the housing. This leads to
the question

"can't you just remove the clips with the  housing still in the tank ??" I

think you can. That would make the job much easier.

 

Important - Change the fuel filter too. I didn't and the car
ran like crap

after a few miles.
