how do i remove the cap of the fuel pump ?


Recommended Posts

i have a Golf VR6 (1995) and i need to take out the fuel pump (its not working ) . i took out the 2 fuel lines and now i have to open the cap (the rount cap on top ) . i want to try to open it by myself without any special VW tools .

My mechanic from the VW garage told me he has a special tool but he cant give it to me so i will use it at home .

thanks

clean all the dirt from around the area. then simply but carefully tap the locking ring around anti clockwise with a blunt ish chisel. it'll take some tapping round but no special tools needed. once you're inside the tank, reach inside and the pump it attached to the tank, give it a good twist anti clockwise and it'll come off the mounts.
