Choose VDO with Confidence
VDO Fuel Modules deliver quality and performance that matches or exceeds OE, so professional service technicians can be confident in their repairs. All electrical connections match the OE style for fast, trouble-free installation with no wire splicing required.
Why did the fuel module fail?
Fuel modules can fail due to overheating, fuel contamination, electrical faults, and worn pump motors and sending units. Reasons for fuel module failures include:
Overheating
Because the fuel in the gas tank acts as a coolant for the electric motor in in-tank units, consistently running the gas level low can cause the fuel pump to run hot, shortening its service life.
Fuel contamination
Dirt, rust, or water in the gas tank can clog the fuel module's internal filter, forcing the pump to work harder and generate excessive heat. Higher heat can shorten the pump’s service life.
Corroded connections
Worn connecting pins or corroded wires can cause higher-than-normal electrical resistance, melting the wiring connectors and interrupting the voltage supplied to the module.
Electrical shorts
A deteriorating fuel pump can draw excessive current, overloading and burning out the module's internal circuits.
Age and wear
Over time, thermal cycling degrades internal solder joints, pressure regulators, and plastic seals, which can lead to pump or module failure.
Choose VDO for repairs done right
Whatever caused the fuel pump or module to fail, a new VDO unit can fix it. For fuel system service done right the first time, choose VDO.
