Hi guys I urgently need a new fuel pump on my S2 since the old one is really on its last steps. The car is 100% stock.
Since I'm getting it from eBay I need an advice. I found this cheap one for 30 euros from Germany:

Or this one from UK:

Or there's the uprated Bosch one, but it's about 130 euros. Can you please tell me if the 30 euros pump is ok or suggest me a good one which isn't too expensive?

I wouldn't use either of them as you will have to cut your original wiring. I'd personally go for an original Bosch item such as this one

i guess for peace of mind you can overpay on something that makes you feel better, but my car is standard and i razz the nuts off it on the cheapo pump.

I just don't like cutting wiring for the sake of it, especially as my car is so original

is there anyway of telling that a fuel pump is knackered or on its way out? my car has started jerking badly throughout the rev range. i also noticed my pump is making a noise i can hear when driving and thats above a 4inch exhaust. its more of a whining noise than a buzz. does that sound like fuel pumps away or am i looking in the wrong place?

Thanks for the replies guys. I got a 70 euros one from Italy, I wanted to get it as soon as possible but then it turned out that I'll be able to put it on only on this week.

Well in my case my pump started making a weird sound sometimes, something like a "zack zack zack". Then about 2 weeks ago after a drive when I stopped in front of my garage to open the door, suddenly it made a very loud & bad sound and the engine slowly stopped. Since there wasn't anyone to help me push the car I really had to try and restart it, and it started a bit hardly. Just after it started the pump made again some bad noises for about 3-4 seconds and then it worked and sounded fine.
