Thanks to those who have gone before me, and provided write-ups and replacement procedures for the lift pump.
I have nothing but praises for TDIClub tonight!
Kudos for IDParts for getting a lift pump to my door in under 24 hours! Put down the baby's bib (heavy duty trash can liner) on the back seat floor, taped around the inspection plate opening. Depressed the little clips that hold the fuel lines to the pump (thanks to numerous videos including AARodriguez who said press here to release clip). Tapped the retaining ring loose with a hammer and block of wood. Swapped the old tan pump for the new grey VDO in under two hours, after sunset, using my Lowes 12V/120V LED work light plugged into the socket inside the hatch. After everything was buttoned up, I cycled the key on and actually heard noises from the lift pump under the rear seat. Not sure I've ever heard it before. Cycled the key several times to force the air through the system and the PD fired right up like usual.
You TDI Owner's are Awesome!
