How To Replace a Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter ~ Project White Wookie

How To Replace a Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter ~ Project White Wookie

Replacing a fuel pump or fuel filter can be scary. But if you follow these tips, and this DIY, you cando it. In upgrading the VR6 with bigger cams, and adding a turbocharger, I needed to upgrade the fuel system. With the added air, I needed more fuel. After much research and advice, I settled on upgrading the in tank fuel pump.

This “upgrade” didn’t quite go as planned. So this video will show you simply how to replace a fuel pump, and fuel filter. I am working on the video for “How to HACK upgrade your fuel pump”. That will be out soon. I have to be careful about those types of videos. I don’t want to spread bad practices out to the world.

The VR6 Turbo Is ALIVE ~ First Start Success and Failure

The VR6 Turbo Is ALIVE ~ First Start Success and FailureThat is right, the fully rebuilt VR6 turbo GTI aka White Wookie is alive. After a full engine rebuild and adding a turbo it’s finally running. The first starts were not allsuccessful. I had one issue with hooking everything up. It ended up being a very minor issue with the crank position sensor. Luckily it ended up being a simple fix. I am also glad I opted to buy a new crankshaft position sensor during the build. It would have been tragic if I couldn’t start it because of a sensor being bad.
