This guy at ebay sells reman fuel pumps and has one up for auction now that will fit your vehicle. Here is the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33555

In his description of the pump, he states that he'll sell it now if you need it before auction ends (if the price is right, I'm sure). Looking around the web, it looks like you will pay around $250 to $300 for a new pump.

Hope this helps,

My fuel pump is just starting to make a sort of whirring/whining sound. Some years ago we had a piece of junk VW Jetta that would make a similar noise just before it left you walking. Had to replace the fuel pump every time it happened to the Jetta. Is it hard to pull the fuel pump? Do you have to drop the fuel tank?
