Picked up my LCR fuel pump today and wanting to get it fitted ASAP as i understand it cant damage anything by fitting it before my hybrid and stg3 map go`s on?

My question is apprently to enable the LCR pump to work correctly one of the hoses needs to be blocked off, could anybody explain or even better have a pic of what hose needs to be blocked off? I assume its one under the rear bench but what one?

Cheers.

Sorry to steal your thread Benny but while this thread has got people's attention - I've got an S3 pump so can someone clarify exactly what needs blocking off/modifying for this to work in our cars?

Pics as per below:

It's a Pierburg one who I was led to believe are the OE providers of these pumps?

I bought it from Jonesya who said he got it from Alex when he was at TTS, with the intention of fitting it for his Hybrid conversion at the time

So aside from blocking the second pick up pipe off, is that it (i.e. housing is still a straight fit)?

I can't be 100% but when I PM'ed Jonesya he said he asked Alex for an S3/TT fuel pump

Is there any way of telling if I put more pics up?

Hmmm, in which case I think I'd best call TTS with the Pierburg part # and see if they can advise what car it came from. So in your eyes that looks identical to an LCR pump? Thanks Hooch
