How can I fix a broken Audi 80 fuel pump?

My car suddenly stopped running and I suspect it may be due to a broken fuel pump. How can I fix this issue on my Audi 80 without having to spend a lot of money at a mechanic?

The first thing you should do is check your Audi 80's fuel pump relay, as this is a common culprit for sudden engine shut down. You can easily replace it yourself with a new one from an auto parts store. Also, make sure to check the fuel pump fuse and connections to ensure they are not loose or damaged. If these do not solve the issue, then it is likely that the fuel pump itself needs to be replaced. To do so, you will need to drain the fuel tank, remove the old pump, and install the new one. It's a good idea to have a friend or family member help you with this task, as it can be quite challenging.

Before replacing your Audi 80's fuel pump, try cleaning it first. Sometimes, debris or buildup can cause the pump to malfunction. You can clean it by disconnecting the fuel lines and using a fuel pump cleaner or compressed air to blow out any dirt or debris. Then, reconnect the fuel lines and see if your car starts again. If not, then it's likely that the pump needs to be replaced. It's always worth trying this first before shelling out money for a new pump.
