Thanks to everyone who gave me advise! :O)

Installed an all black Bosch pump.

Fairly straight forward operation.

The rubber seal around the top cap was fun.

Had to lube the plastic screw cap to get it to turn easier.

Didnt have to remove the basket. Popped off the 2 plastic clips around the pump, and pulled her out.

I did have to remove the top outer banjo bolt to get the top cap off. Replaced the 2 crush washers as well.

I'll be going after the beer-can-sized fuel filter today! ;O)<ul><li><a href="http://www.elektro.com/~audi/fuelpump/">http://www.elektro.com/~audi/fuelpump/</a</li></ul>

Opened up the old filter.

Allot of small, black dirt.

It was an OEM filter with 130K.

Interesting, as had a metal filter media.

I think I want to do the change now to avoid having to do it when it surprise-fails on me.

No more issues at high rpm.

I really gotta do that too. I have an OEM with more then 170k on it. YIKES!
