What's a fuel pump cost for '90 200qt?
Hi Everyone,
I took a '90 200qt for a test drive today and it is
making a constant buzzing sound from the rear of the car anytime it is
running. I read on here someplace that this indicates the fuel pump is on
it's way out. Now I can't fiind the post anymore. Everything else
(except for some minor things I can fix myself) on this car checks out ok and I
really like this car. The local Audi dealer quoted me a price of $464 for
the pump and about 1-1/2 hours labor. Can one of you experts please
tell this greenhorn if these pumps are available elsewhere and at what
cost? Also, is this a job a relatively competent shadetree mechanic can
perform?, or am I stuck with taking it in? At this point the car runs
great and the pump doesn't seem to be causing any performance
problems.
I think the owner will work with me on this,
and I would rather have him give me a better deal on the car than have him
give the Audi dealer a bunch of money. I think I can use this to bargain a
little with him. Also, in the location where he lives, about the only
place to get an Audi fixed is the local Audi dealer. I live a couple of
hundred miles away and there are lots of foreign car repair shops around where I
may get a better price.
Thanks in advance,
Tony
