Re: [TECH] [INJECTION] Fuel Pump (1981 Scirocco)

[William J Erikson <williamjosiah@juno.com>]

Ah, the infamous A1 pump. It sucks. I hate it. I've had like 8 different
pumps on my GTI. Sometimes you can unfreeze them by hitting them on
something hard. Sometimes you can't. I had a brand new one seize on me
for no reason whatsoever. If you bought it from Bosch and you still have
the receipt, they do have a one year warranty on them.
