Bosch Motorsport 044 Fuel Pump Coupe Fitting Guide

[Billman]

i have a question about the 044 pumps. since yesterday i noticed a gargling noise coming from the fueltank and i think the fuel pump is about to die. is this common on the 044s? i notice no difference cuts or whatever only the noise.

thanks

Noone has these kind of noises with his pump?

My 044 has some kinda high pitch noise, but it has been like that from day one.

i had this also but now it changed to something else.....burble gurgle ....

I have the same, its very very loud especially if you have the rear seats down.

Same here from new, and actually glad to know I'm not the only one (!).. although I've also noticed on extremely hot days it does begin to sound a little unnerving in tone, like it's struggling a bit :-O

I have some mounted external from my tank, Needless to say they are on a switched system!!!

I don't hear my 044 in the Avant. But that is because my 3" exhaust is boomy

when hot it does sound a bit louder in mine as well. Maybe it would be a good idea to have a fuel tank radiator!! hehe

Its worth checking the pump hasnt slid out of the basket and is touching the outside of the tank

[ADP]

rs2 pump fitting

i have just finished fitting bosch 0580 254 040 pump which is the same as spec as 044
part numbers for 60mm reservoir 895201779h and strainer 895201531a.
my fuel pump is very quiet at the moment but i am still trying to find a banjo bolt for pump to fit original banjo pipework in tank

[MikeyB571]

I am trying to fit a 044 into my coupe, however it is a 94 2.6e originally anyway and not an S2. The problem I am having is that I can't find any cover on top of the tank, can someone tell me how I access the fuel pump on this tank?

Thanks.

Sounds like you need to take off the tank cover (the ridged cover under the boot floor carpet) . First remove the boot floor carpet.
Then peel the carpet flap that is glued across the rear of the tank cover and you will see several bolts. Undo and remove the cover. Done.
