Autotech fuel pump installation

[xXANCHORMONXx]

I have a 08 fsi engine and I was planning to put in my fuel pump in a few days but I wanted to know if this is a good diy.

Everything seems good till the fuse and to let the car run out of fuel. I really don't like that idea. Do you have to do this? I also saw an Apr diy but It doesn't show how to remove it.
Thanks

They are talking about bleeding off the excess fuel pressure, you can do it that way or with the pressure release valve on the hpfp.

Why wouldn't you just use the schraeder like bleed valve on the pump? Same thing you'd use if you checked your follower.

Just a helpful tip...

I would recommend popping the hood first, then letting the car sit for a half-hour or so before doing this.

Reason being... When you open your drivers side door, the electric fuel pump, at the gas tank, primes the line, increasing the fuel pressure at the hpfp. It does this automatically, anticipating that you're about to start the car.

If you pop the hood first, then let it sit, the fuel pressure will be a good deal less when you go to bleed the pump. Just remember to not open the drivers siude door before pulling the pump.
