I am going to drop the fuel tank this week on my '84 1.9 to replace the fuel lines and filter. Should I go ahead and replace the fuel pump at the same time? The fuel pump is working and isn't making any unusual noises, and a replacement is pricey. I have no idea as to the history behind the vehicle, but it seems to have been well maintained. I bought it with 122k on it and I'm slowly replacing everything as money comes in hand. I will be taking a 2500 mile round trip voyage to the Atlantic Provinces at the end of October. Items replaced so far: Complete new engine with new clutch, alternator, distributor CVs repacked and boots replaced Coolant system flushed and filled New front rotors, wheel bearings, brake pads. Synthetic lube put in transmission. New master and slave clutch cylinders New tires and alignment After reading about Jim Mitchells recent experience, I plan on getting a rebuilt airflow meter and used ECU to use as spares, and the fuel pump will put me over budget. All three are currently working properly (knock on wood), but of the three, which is most likely to fail and leave me stranded? TIA Scott 1984 Westfalia Rockville, MD
