It is on the backside of the driver cam and is very easy to remove! A 10mm flex-able ratching wrench from gearwrench makes it much easier. remove the 3 long bolts and the crash shield then the 3 short that hold the pump in, then rotate the pump to remove the plug, slide out and remove. Also need to remove the two fuel lines! put back together and start car with covers still off to check for fuel leaks. Can be done in 30 min but it is a knuckle buster not alot of room in there!

The pump will calibrate itself after 5 mins of driving! Does it very fast just take it easy on the gas and drive normal at first! It should start right up and idle normal if that was the problem!

A search reveals that it carries over to the 2010 M.Y.

Thanks for the tips, now i know what you mean being a knuckle buster. There's barely any room back there. I still have to put the backplate on...

Count me in as yet another victim of the 'virus-laden' fuel pumps.
Brought the GTS in this morning for replacement of the water-ingested horns and a seatbelt buckle housing that disintegrated when my wife put on her belt a month ago. Dealer called and told me that my VIN was within the affected range for the pump.
Maybe my fuel economy will now improve?

One more for the list my S has only 6kmiles.... .. the high preasure first...expecting the low preasure pump now, fuel pumps are in backorder...does any one also have problems with the Bose system? mine records 6500 errors and it`s not enought for Porsche to change it even tought I`m under warranty, they ask for another protocol test.
