Fueling Issues And Other

[cammack 0]

hi all.

 

have a H reg 91 1.6 gti.

 

got it about 6 months ago, pretty miny good condition no rust and only 70k so was happy with that! however ive noticed its using rather a large amount of fuel. and once running the switching engine off, you can here the fuel pump? sender unit? im not sure. sounds coming from drivers side rear wheel area. what is it and why does it run after the cars been turned off?

 

thanks in advance

 

alo got quite a lot o work to do to it, clutch, headgasget, and the long list of things which usually need replacing lol. any offers or cheap peoples around oxford, south mids area?

If the fuel pump is still running when the engine is switched off, it sounds like the tachymetric (fuel pump) relay is sticking on - a fairly common issue, which replacement will solve.

 

Fuel pump is in-tank, and located under the drivers rear seat, and the fuel pump relay is located under the drivers side of the dash (next to the ECU).
