How do I know if this fuel pump will fit my VW Bus or Vanagon?

This fuel pump is specifically designed to fit all fuel-injected VW Bus models from 1975 to 1979 and all Vanagon models from 1980 to 1991. If your vehicle falls within these years and is fuel-injected, this pump is a direct replacement. No extra adapters are typically needed, but double-check your original pump's mounting and wiring style to ensure compatibility with either the Bosch or aftermarket version.

What’s the difference between the Bosch fuel pump and the aftermarket option?

The Bosch fuel pump is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) option, known for its reliability and quieter operation. The aftermarket pump is also a solid, cost-effective choice, but you might notice a slightly higher operating noise compared to Bosch. Both pumps are dependable replacements, and installation procedures are almost identical. GoWesty offers both so you can choose based on your preferences and budget.

How difficult is it to install this fuel pump if I’ve never done it before?

If you’re moderately handy with tools, installing this fuel pump is a straightforward afternoon project. The pump is a direct fit, and GoWesty includes clear instructions. For most models, no wiring changes are needed, but some 1975-77 buses may require a simple wiring swap when replacing the original pump. Once installed, it’s a good idea to check for leaks and test the system pressure. If you run into any uncertainties, GoWesty’s customer service team is available to help with installation tips.

Nous sommes fiers de proposer deux choix de pompes à carburant de haute qualité pour les véhicules Bus à injection de carburant 1975-79 et Vanagon 1980-91. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'une pompe à carburant qui ne vous fera pas défaut, découvrez l'une de ces deux offres :

1. Bosch d'origine (0-580-463-070). Fabriquée dans l'UE.
2. Reproduction de l'après-vente. Une offre moins chère, légèrement plus bruyante, mais extrêmement fiable .

Conseil d'installation : La conception Bosch d'origine présentait des cosses à emboîter pour une connexion électrique à presser. Cette conception n'était pas fiable au fil du temps, car les cosses pouvaient facilement se desserrer et vous laisser en panne. Les deux pompes que nous avons en stock présentent désormais une conception améliorée avec une tige filetée et un œillet pour une connexion fiable à long terme. Cette conception nécessite de couper les connecteurs femelles de votre faisceau de câbles d'origine et de sertir les connecteurs à œillet fournis.

*Pour les véhicules à injection de carburant uniquement. La marque peut varier.

Attention à l'installateur : Remplacer une pièce défectueuse de votre système EFI par une pièce neuve ou reconditionnée peut entraîner un fonctionnement moins bon, car d'autres réglages ont pu changer au fil du temps pour compenser la pièce défectueuse que vous remplacez. Il est nécessaire de suivre la procédure de réglage de base du manuel Bentley après l'installation. Veuillez également lire notre politique de retour concernant les articles électriques et électroniques.

for a 1985 Dokka

I have an abused '85 Dokka I'm working to get running with my son. First step was fuel - he replaced the fuel pump and the ground wire. Now the fuel pump runs strong with the turn of the key! Now on to checking spark....

Bosch...

If an option, I always buy Bosch. easy installation and comes with new connectors and rubber post covers!

Solid

Been solid for years now

this made a huge difference

Great and fast service as always!

Exact replacement, and an easy swap. Maybe slightly noiser than the original, but hardly noticeable.

Worked great!

Easy install, last one installed 2018, so 8 years later gunk from original fuel tank beat up fuel pump.

This is the ONLY fuel pump to buy!!! The other AM (aftermarket) products don't compare. They are all (and I mean all aftermarket fuel pumps) are very noisy and no where near as reliable as the true OEM Bosch product. Buy this one!!

Came as advertised but I don’t think they had to change the connectors to ring type. My original spade connectors were just fine. Turns out my original pump was just fine too. So if the new pump ever fails, I will have to retrofit to spades agin.

Easy Peezy lemon squeezy called them up. They always take care of me very professional latitude. Very courteous get the job done thank you so much.

Bosch all day any day! Mine has been running for years! I bought a back up like a good boy should LOL!

It showed up and seems to be putting out the 32 psi required

I just had my Bosch fuel pump start to go bad and replaced it with my spare aftermarket unit, while in a National Park visitor center parking lot. My Bosch unit was silent until it started to go bad making a lot of noise while trolling for a campsite.
When I installed my spare aftermarket unit it too was noisy making me think it was bad as well, however, the noise did subside after running for a while and now I am used to the extra noise.
I will buy a Bosch unit as my new spare and maybe even swap it back into my van for a little less noise.

Always a pleasure working with the team at GoWesty. Super fast shipping and delivery. Thank you, guys!

Spent the extra money and bought the Bosch model for extra confidence! Received the part and it was an easy swap with the fuel upgraded filter kit. Immediate heard a squealing/whine from the filter. Reached out to gowesty and sent a video. Gowesty stated “there's likely nothing wrong with the pump or your fuel system, other than having an inherently louder fuel pump.“

They also said I would need pay to ship my faulty part back for further testing at my expense.

I’ve now had a full fuel system replacement and this issue independently serviced by the best in the Vanagon community.

This one is the real deal!! . I felt the difference from the first start.

Thx for the great service!

It was time to replace my original Fuel Pump. Went with the BOSCH 💪🏾. Can’t wait to install

GoWesty and Bosch

Ordered and received my new Bosch fuel pump replacing one that I believe may have been in my 1987 Westy since it was manufactured. Buying the Bosch fuel pump was certainly what I wanted to stay original but the best part about it is GoWesty’s shipping Got it to me within days and I was back on the road!

It’s good!

I have nothing bad to say, but I now use this one as my spare. I went with original and it made a difference.

Vanagon customer

Fuel pump was easy to install and worked great!

Chinese junk

Worthless out of the box. Had to reinstall original Bosch having trouble. After 4 hours of troubleshooting the non working new Chinese.

Great upgrade

Simple and easy, just plug and play.

Nice to have a quality aftermarket option

I haven’t used this yet. I bought it as a backup to carry with me in case my Bosch fails, or install in the next project van (like I did my last one).
