did it blow everytime u went over 65?... cuz for the last month or 2 the 20 has been holding up great... then the other day it blew, now im trying a 25 but i still dont wanna go over 65 cuz its a pita having to pul over in the middle of a freeway just to change a fuse then have to merge with everyone else already doing 70mph

just hook it up to a circuit breaker. then everytime it trips, just reset it lol. it's probably a bad pump or bad wiring. you might be able to find the problem if you had vag com. pm auditech79 and see if he has any insight. there has to be a short some where in the wiring
