[V8] No start suspect fuel pump

[Ronald G Wainwright]

Just wanted to update.....

I got an 044 high output pump. It's a 60mm pump but didn't fit in the basket cause the top screen on the housing was overlapping the hole. So I cut it off flush & the pump dropped in. 
 Bolted everything back up & she fired rite up.
 I've had great luck over the 20 odd years I've owned Audis in that the pump died on me in my driveway and not on the road somewhere. 
 Just a little reassurance too u all that the Audi GODS smile down on us few who worship these cars!!! I truly love these cars!!!

Thanx

>>> cars been starting no problem cept for this morn..... Turned key like any other day & car came to life but quickly stalled. Tried cranking, cranking, cranking..... Nothing. Waited another minute and car started.
>>> I let her idle etc for a while and turned her off too put the belly pan back on. Went to start again to move & the car fired but stalked rite away. So I pulled the fuel pump relay & used a jumper wire to c if the pump would turn on and it doesn't.
