Rheu032@uabdpo.dpo.uab.edu (Charles R. Roberts) wrote about fuel pump
prices. I also have been having "joy" with this part. I have found that the
prices vary widely!!!!

Prices in Phoenix, AZ:
Dealer (Chapman):$278.53 "Would have to order it!"
BAP: $109. rebuilt $190. new. <Bosch> $41. +/- core
Autohaus:$70.00 rebuilt $130 new. <Bosch> $41. +/- core

It pays to shop. I know that several of the most popular VW FLAPS in Phoenix
order from the Autohaus. When they say "Warehouse", they usually mean
Autohaus. We are talking about a $143.53 difference when comparing new Bosch
to new Bosch! The only difference is a different part of town. < ;-) >

BTW: This past weekend I cheaped out and bought the rebuilt with a 12/12,000
guarantee on it and it buzzes as bad as the old one that got replaced. I
will switch it out again next weekend. If it were going into the "keeper"
Vanagon Westy, I definitely would have gone with the new one.
