^^^^I don't think he has replaced the fuel pump, just the filter. What i was thinking was the pump is drawing too much current blowing the fuse because of load on the pump in 5th, but i want him to learn how to diagnose things before he "shotguns" his way thru life. He needs to get his hands on a vag com and a good quality DVOM.

DVOM (digital volts ohms meter) is used to check for continuity of power through the circuit.

At a time I couldn't afford Rosstech's VAG com either but the $15 Ebay cable got me along fine. If you play with the settings between the software and your computer you can get every readout like the original. A friend of mine even got it to log. IDK how but I'm sure just the base version will get you by most problems.
