Jumping from first few pages to the very end (while later weeding through the post):
2005 Golf TDI BEW - engine swap (main knock). Front jacked up for 4 weeks, 1/4 tank diesel.
New engine in, everything dandy. Took fuse 28 out (assuming this is fuel pump) to crank new engine (timing belt done, etc) first without firing.
Actually started and ran for a few seconds.
Cranked some more to move oil, coolant, power steering etc around.
Good enough. Fuse back in. Crank. Nothing. Repeat.
Ok, need to bleed. No bleed procedure in vagcom for my model.
Took fuel filter out. Turn key on, nothing. Also don't hear fuel pump cycling.
Found and opened fuel pump lid. Voltage check to outside pin: ok.
Some tapping on pump (I had it that a bit of 'jolt' woke up the pump). Nope.
Resistance across two (big) outside pins: infinite (open circuit). I would assume the pump motor shows some resistance?
Assumption: pump motor died (or build up on brushes or similar) while sitting in garage.
Removed pump. Can get motor out without pulling the hard nasty fuel lines off (and as OP states, likely need to destroy the line with none on hand).
1. Start search for new pump assembly (to avoid messing around with hard plastic fuel lines).
2. Start search for used assembly (better than nothing, but slim chance). What car make/model/year are suitable donors for my 2005 TDI?
3. If 'open circuit' (while standing), chances are that contacts are rotted from sitting. May just some 'spinning' of the motor shaft would bring them back to life? Or 'jolting' with some higher voltage? Or submerge in 'contact cleaner'? Can't get to the motor itself as mentioned above without breaking the fuel lines, and therefore cannot access the critical parts.
Any suggestions how to commence from here?
My pump looks exactly like his one, the OP one in the beginning of this thread (from what I can tell).
Is the part number for my pump 1J0919050?
(Y)
