    Just fitted a new in tank pump in my v6 tdi passat, i can hear it running but theres no fuel to the line iv pulled off the filter

    Im about 3 seconds away from torching the car as its the 3rd new bit iv replaced and its not run for over 2 weeks now!!

    would appear that the in tank pump just swirls the fuel, totally pointless as i still cant prime the system nor get the thing running

    The intake pump primes the fuel filter then shuts off.

    From what I understand it sensors fuel pressure! So if you disconnect a fuel pipe, the lift pump will stop pumping fuel.

    It's a bit like the fuel filter telling the lift pump (I'm full now )

    Yes I've played around with it just out of curiosity.
