Hello everyone, I have had the good fortune of getting lots of help in this forum and I'm back with a continuation of my IP difficulties. I found the pump leaking from the middle seal and with the guidance of many (Audi5000,aNUT,etc) I replaced both upper and middle gaskets and fuel damaged coolant lines. No more leak but it is not putting out any fuel. There appears to be fuel getting in. When disconnected, the inlet port looks full. There is just nothing coming out of the ofther end. My trusted mechanic said that he bled it, even disconnected the solenoid but still nuthin'. I just put a boatload of $$ into this beloved '97 Passat. The mechanic wants to replace the whole IP. I will lose my mind if I have to go another $1000+ for a new/rebuilt pump. I did the gaskets and hoses, now the $meter$ is running on the shop for diagnosis.
As usual, everyone's assistance is greatly appreciated.
