VW Scirocco Fuel Pump Failure: Repair Help Needed

Had the same fuel pump failure symptoms on my 2016 VW Golf GTI. The automotive diagnosis showed low fuel pressure caused by a failing pump and damaged fuel injector connectors. Engine stalling and rough running are typical signs of fuel delivery problems. The car mechanics found corroded electrical connections at the pump assembly and one damaged fuel injector plug. Complete repair involved replacing the pump assembly, cleaning all connector terminals, and installing new wiring harness clips. This was a serious issue since improper fuel delivery can damage engine components if left unaddressed. Parts were on backorder for 3 days but the actual repair took about 4 hours. The fuel system required complete pressure testing after repair to ensure proper operation. Car has run perfectly since then with normal fuel consumption restored. Most repair shops can handle fuel pump replacements but finding one that does proper diagnostic work first is important. A competent shop will verify the issue through pressure testing before replacing parts. These symptoms definitely point to a fuel system problem. Get it checked soon to prevent additional engine damage.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the GTI fuel pump repair. This matches exactly what I went through with my Scirocco last winter. The rough running and high fuel consumption were really concerning. Once fixed, the car performance returned to normal. Just curious, do you remember the total repair cost for your fuel system work? My issue ended up being quite expensive. Also, have you had any other fuel delivery problems since getting it fixed?

After finding a reliable mechanic, my GTI fuel pump repair turned out simpler than expected. The issue was traced to faulty wiring connections at the pump assembly, not a complete pump failure as initially feared. Total repair cost came to just 95€ for fixing the cable connections and cleaning the connectors. The auto repair shop did a thorough job testing the fuel delivery system after the fix. Car performance returned to normal immediately, with proper fuel consumption and smooth running. No more rough starts or stalling issues. Since that repair over a year ago, the fuel system has worked flawlessly. Regular maintenance has kept the car running well with no signs of pump failure or delivery problems. Getting this fixed quickly helped avoid more serious engine issues. The key was finding a shop that properly diagnosed the root cause rather than just replacing parts. Proper fuel pump diagnostics saved quite a bit compared to a full pump replacement.

Thanks for the advice. I finally got my Scirocco fixed at a new shop I found through recommendations. The mechanic did a complete automotive diagnosis and found multiple issues in the fuel delivery system, not just the pump I suspected. Turned out the main problem was corroded wiring and a partially clogged fuel filter causing the engine stalling. The repair cost was 320€ total, more reasonable than I expected. They cleaned all connections, replaced the filter and installed new wiring harness clips. The car runs perfectly now, no more rough starts or excessive fuel consumption. Really glad I found a shop that took time to properly diagnose before replacing parts. They even showed me the old components and explained exactly what was causing the problems. Big relief to have this sorted without needing a complete pump replacement. Will definitely use this shop again for future repairs since they were honest about what actually needed fixing.
