BOSCH 69740 Fuel Pump Module Assembly - Enhanced Design and Performance

So far so good! Fit great

To clarify, I purchased the Bosch 69740 that was delivered direct from Amazon (not a third-party). I received a fuel pump as pictured with a new gasket and level float. Installation was simple and quick. Can't speak to the longevity of the unit as it was just installed, but the car fired right up after installation. This resolved issues with starting/hesitation. In reading the reviews, looking at the photos, and reading the questions and answers on Amazon, there seems to be confusion on the fuel pump that's being referenced. One photo someone else posted has a VDO logo on the instructions, which is a different brand and slightly different part (I don't believe it comes with the level float).

At about half the cost of the original factory pump from the dealer this is an excellent choice. One thing that the buyer should be aware of though is that this pump does not come with the gasket or the fuel level sensor, which you can take from the old pump so no big deal and it's my understanding that other models of this pump come the same way, otherwise it's a great pump. I did find it amusing that the picture of the pump on the box shows that the hose attachments were coming off at right angles, when in fact the actual pump nipples actually come out straight just like the original, like they are supposed to.

Bought fuel pump for 2001 VW Jetta. Pump installation was easy, fit was perfect, gauge works reliably, pump works reliably, I will update with any durability issues if they occur. Note that if your pump was failing it might be a good idea to remove the pump relay and clean the contacts and maybe tap on it a as you are starting the car, mine had a bunch of black residue on them from excessive load from the failing pump, as the older pumps fail they draw excess current that overloads the relay and generates scorch marks on the contacts which causes the intermittent failures, initially the pump didn't work, I removed the relay, cleaned the contacts and tapped on the relay one time, then the pump started up. and has worked reliably since, though I have ordered a spare relay just in case.

Fits mk4 Jetta. Easy to swap old pump for this one. Car fired right up after replacement. About a month after replacement and no signs of malfunction. Cheapest replacement at auto store was $300+ (also for a Bosch) so very happy.

This review is not really for the pump itself. I was never able to try it. When it came I was pleasantly surprised it came with the lever and a new gasket, (does not show that in description or picture) but then disappointed it did not have a strainer on the bottom. (Where can you buy this?) The flange at the top looked different as soon as I got the old one out, you could see the original pump had a bigger flange at the top. I went back to the computer to continue my research. Even went online to local big box part stores to search again. They said this pump is for wagon models. (I don't know, or care, all I know is it didn't fit my 2004 Jetta 2.0) The problem comes with the drop down boxes for the model/engine etc from Amazon. They listed 3 options for my vehicle for engine. ALL three showed the SAME thing so I figured there was no difference. Even if I changed the model from GL to GLS the same three engine options showed. I rolled the dice I guess and was happy with the cost versus local box stores. Just not the right part. I will be sending this back.

21 minute install. Everything worked fine once hooked up. Didn't want to go with the cheapest option so I will report back if this fails prematurely.

Dose not fit 2005 beetle need bigger diameter had to get Volkswagen one
