The fuel pump is failing, where is it located on a 2004 Jetta GL 1.8 sedan?

Here's a link with a picture of it. SAVE 20 ON ONLINE SHIP TO HOME ORDERS OF 100 OR MORE Here's a new one. http://www.autozone.com/fuel-delivery/fuel-pressure-regulator/gp-sorensen-fuel-pressure-regulator/volkswagen/jetta/2004/4-cylinders-l-2-0l-sfi-sohc/80033_0_0

The pumps are installed inside your fuel tank; since liquid fuel cannot blow up, this is the best location for installation. In order to replace it you must drop the tank and get at the pump from the top. I would check fuse #28, which is the fuse to the fuel pump relay before pulling the pump. Otherwise, you would be wise to consider the amount of work involved in dropping the tank. It requires removing the bolts from the straps, pulling the fuel lines, removing the gas inlet, removing the connectors and then you get to the pump. Let me know if you want to go this route and I will do my best to give you step by step direction to remove the pump.

Fuel pump heats up and malfunctions??? HaHa that's a good one. Tell the dope that told you that, I said the fuel pump is only going to get as hot as the fuel it is sitting in....or at least, lets hope so, unless you like to see bombs go off!

The best advice I can give you is this:
1. Check to see if there are any fault codes in your computer. (On an '86 Subaru, the computer might not be very smart, but check it anyway.)

2. If there are no codes, run the engine untill it stalls, then pull one of the spark plugs and see if there is any spark when you try to start it.

3. If it has spark, then you should check to see if it is getting fuel.

You have to find out which system is failing (Spark or Fuel) before you can even guess what is causing the problem.

You will have to have the fuel pressure checked. pumps can still pump fuel, and not have enough fuel pressure.

You need a ramp.Lift the car and you will see the pump.There is a small fuel tank with build in /half/ fuel pump.It easy to remove.Be very carefull.There is lots of gas.Do not smoke and avoid any sparks.Dis connect the battery eard/negative.

Some of the Sebrings have two filters(one is called a sock).The sock(which all sebrings have) is located in the fuel tank itself on the pump module.If this model is the JXI then the external filter is located on the belly of the car between the tank and drivers rear seat. I hope I could help!!!

in the gas tank

It is not difficult, if the location is convenient. You start by disconnecting the battery. The pump is in the tank. You pull up all the carpet in the trunk, and thiere is an access panel pass side close to. seat

Look under the car, towards the rear passenger door, along the side of the undercarriage. It will look like a can without a label. It will have one line going in and out of each end.

for the most part the fuel pump reset is just inside the rear hatch on the left or right side sometimes behind a small panel
